We love Howard Park, and we know you do, too. Right now the South Bend community has a great opportunity to improve this treasured space, and Matthews, LLC, wants to help! This website outlines Matthews, LLC’s, response to TRANSPO’s Request For Proposal (RFP) for developing 10 acres of land adjacent to Howard Park. TRANSPO, South Bend’s regional bus authority, is currently reviewing the top three proposals that were submitted and will soon decide who will have the opportunity to build on this property.

TRANSPO’s RFP was two-fold. First, they requested a purchase offer for the land. Second, they requested a site plan showing how the property might be developed. Matthews, LLC, responded with two site plans. The first includes development on the 10-acre parcel that is for sale (the Primary Plan), and the second looks at development for the entire neighborhood (The Creative Plan).

The videos below are supporting documentation for Matthews, LLC’s, involvement in the community and demonstrate the Primary Plan and Creative Plan, respectively.
