South Bend leaders hold ribbon-cutting for housing development Wednesday

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The City of South Bend, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, CDFI Friendly South Bend, Cinnaire, and community developers, collaborated to increase housing availability in the city.

On Wednesday, Mayor James Mueller, Senior Vice President of Business Development for Cinnaire Keith Broadnax, and other representatives held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sherman Avenue Wednesday morning for a newly built duplex.

"Well, this is really, you know, the next chapter of South Bend's, come back. So, you know, you remember the downtown kind of started coming back. There's still work to do there, but now you're starting to see construction, new construction, new housing here in neighborhoods like Sherman Avenue, and so it's really exciting to see and all these different pieces have come together. It wasn't just one of them that solved this, that made this possible. It was all of them coming together. And it's great to see hard work and determination pay off," said Mueller.
