I can&#039;t speak for the magazine, but here&#039;s what I know as of today.
Demolition contiues at a rapid pace at the site, with not much more than Forge #2, Base Fit and the boiler house left untouched. I was in South Bend a couple of weeks ago and here&#039;s a picture of what things looked like.

Word is that the boiler house has an interested buyer with that deal just about complete. From what I have been told, the building will be used as office space with the original structure being used. I would guess that they will divide it in to 3 or so floors on the inside, but it is just a guess at this time.

Forge #2 and Base Fit are still standing and waiting for us. We are currently working on the next step. Ron Radecki, who was mentioned in the article in the Nov/Dec issue, is working up a quote for his services to create a budget for the project. This will be presented to the board at the meeting in Wentzville. 
Since the City of South Bend is nearing the end of the clean up, they understandably want to see progress on the Forge #2 building. Time seems to be our number one enemy at this point of the project.

On the plus side, I have had several people approach me about their local foundations and charities that we can approach for donations/contributions/grants. Every one that we can get will help. Plus it goes to show the money is out there if you look for it.
