SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- On Dec 18, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously in favor of passing a new resolution that would commit $5 million to the $112 million station relocation at the South Bend International Airport. 

In addition, there is a $10 million match from St. Joseph County and $8 million from the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD).

However, there are some conditions in the approved resolution:

• The City's contribution, along with the contributions of the State of Indiana, St. Joseph County, Northern Indiana Regional Development Authority, and the private sector (the "Contributing Parties"), will be spent proportionally after NICTD's contribution has been spent in its entirety.
• If the Station is completed for less than the estimated cost, pro rata refunds shall be issued to the Contributing Parties.
• The Station shall be a full-service station stop for the South Shore Line with a capacity substantially similar to or greater than the current station stop for no fewer than 20 years from the date of the Agreement.
• NICTD shall maintain continuous passenger rail service from South Bend to Chicago with specific service requirements to be negotiated.
• NICTD will vacate and remove existing track and at-grade crossings within the City that are no longer used for passenger rail service as a part of the Station project.
• NICTD will include a downtown South Bend station in its strategic plan and take all reasonable actions to establish a station in downtown South Bend.
