# Redevelopment Commission Meeting 09/28/2026

The City of Mishawaka Redevelopment Commission met on September 28, 2026, and approved Resolution 2026-111, a tax-abatement request for Dog Leg Social, a proposed golf and entertainment venue in JP Business Park. The developer described an approximately $17 million investment, an estimated 90 jobs, and a planned 2027 opening. The city estimated the abatement benefit at roughly $800,000 over five years to help provide a project match; staff said the project was not included in existing TIF revenue projections and was not expected to affect debt payments or planned projects. The resolution passed. The commission also approved a $11,900 grant/forgivable-loan request, though the recipient and project details are unclear in the transcript, and approved a purchase agreement for 1430 South Union Street, listed at about $217,000 and supported by two appraisals.

Members considered downtown property-improvement assistance, including work at 424/426 West 7th Street and Mainstage theater; the transcript discusses historic-preservation review and proposed façade, window, and building improvements, but does not clearly capture final action or grant amounts for those requests. The commission also authorized contracts for previously approved allocations, including approximately $26,124.90 for the Boys & Girls Club, $31,327 for a food pantry, $15,000 for the South Bend Human Rights Commission, $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity for down-payment assistance, and $30,000 for Rebuilding Together. An additional $16,124.90 amount appears in the transcript, but its recipient is unclear.
