It's a big place, but good luck finding Michiana on a map. It's not really a secret, but ‘Michiana,’ as we commonly refer to this area, is actually a collection of fifteen counties in Indiana and Michigan - hence, the term ‘Michiana.’ And there are literally dozens of cities and towns of all sizes here. Life in Michiana offers the best of both worlds, from the cultural and corporate advantages of city life to the natural calm and serenity of our country landscapes and suburban communities. It's a great place to raise your kids, retire, move up in the business world or launch an exciting new career.

    Community Focus – South Bend Inventive Growth South Bend Developing a High-tech Future By Candace Gwaltney nnovation is more than a buzzword for the city of South Bend. It’s part of its history and culture. As home to the University of Notre Dame and other higher education institutions, the city produces countless original thinkers and inventors. Historically, the Industrial Revolution led to new inventions from local giants The Studebaker Automobile Company and the Oliver Chilled Plow Works. I Now, South Bend is preparing to experience a new revolution – one defined by scientific discovery, new technology and, of course, innovation. The city, universities and industries are working together to make South Bend a vibrant center for discovery. Transforming ideas into commerce The state’s fourth largest city will open its first certified technology park, called Innovation Park at Notre Dame, this fall. The three-story, 54,000-square-foot facility will be adjacent to the university. A second tech park, known as Ignition Park, will be located at the former Studebaker factory site. While the two parks will work closely together, they each serve a different purpose, says Dave Brenner, president and CEO of Innovation Park. Innovation Park will serve as a transitional space as researchers and entrepreneurs transform ideas into commercial applications. The City of South Bend is Ignition Park will serve as a landing space for these newly developed companies. Innovation Park exploring ways to streamline and prioritize services as it faces is owned by Notre Dame, while Ignition Park is owned by the city of South Bend.
