The Redevelopment Commission was established to address conditions associated with blight and the underutilization of land and/or barriers to development.  The Commission operates within the city limits.  They study areas of the city, identify problem areas and develop a strategic plan for eliminating blight and bringing about new development within those areas.  A primary focus is on the expansion of tax base and the creation of new jobs within South Bend.
