    Annual List of Obligated Projects

    Annual Listing of Obligated Projects Fiscal Year - 2018 6100 Southport Road Portage, IN 46368 www.nirpc.org Annual Listing of Obligated Projects – FY 2018 Introduction The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) is a regional council of local governments serving the citizens of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties in Northwest Indiana. It is organized under the provisions of Indiana Code 36-7-7.6. NIRPC also serves as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for these three counties. The FAST Act (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2015. This act provides long term funding certainty for surface transportation infrastructure planning and investment. The act continues (from the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century- MAP 21) the requirement that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO’s) prepare an annual list of projects in which federal funds have been obligated for in the preceding year (23 U.S.C. of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53). The Act further states that this list must be published within 90 days of the close of the preceding year. In Indiana, the fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. This Act is intended to increase the transparency of federal government spending on transportation projects within a Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties constitute this MPA. This report fulfills this requirement for the fiscal year 2018. The term obligation in this report is the federal government’s legal commitment to pay the federal share of a project’s eligible costs. An obligated project is one that has been authorized by the Federal Highway Agency (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as meeting certain eligibility requirements for federal funds.

    THE LYONS FAMILY Assem bled by CHARLTON HAVARD LYONS for His Grandchildren This Genealogy is based on data from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford's: GENERAL LEROY AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, A GENEALOGY, and Annie Elizabeth Miller's: OUR FAMILY CIRCLE, and from members of the family and other sources. Letters from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford to C. H. Lyons 1165 Stanford Avenue Baton Rouge, Louisiana June 10, 1948 "My dear Charlton: "Many thanks for your recent letters relative to my genealogical efforts. We old fellows do not get many tokens of commendation especially where our 'hobbies' are concerned, such as your letter expressed, but they are al- ways gratefully received and are very soothing to our pride. We are told that pride was the cause of the fall of Lucifer and his fellow angels, so it is not a new essence in the makeup of God's creatures, and therefore we should not be held too culpable in still retaining a little of it. I have certainly en- joyed my genealogical work. It has been a great source of pleasure to me through these years of my retirement. Always being of an active tempera- ment I just had to have an outlet to a naturally restless disposition, and genealogy, in which I was always interested, came as a great solace to me. "We have a fine lot of forebears, from those uncompromising old Puri- tans of New England to those hot-blooded Southerners of Virginia and South Carolina. When old Grandpa Wright came to the 'Deep South' and married a girl whose progenitors had never been farther north than South Carolina, he mingled two strains of very different elements, and we are the result- and according to my way of thinking, not too bad a sample of good Americanism.

This project will remove the most highly visible barrier for development in South Bend’s Innovation District by completing the restoration of the Studebaker Building 84 north facing façade. The project will also accelerate the redevelopment efforts of Studebaker 84 and enhance a complex that will serve as an economic magnet similar in relative scope to the American Tobacco Factory in Durham, North Carolina. 4Q ’17 Status Update. - Project Status: Demolition of the existing façade is underway. The next step will be a building scan and ordering the windows and related materials. The building owner has engaged Kite Realty/Stronbox to manage the construction, property management and leasing as they pursue their goal for a “density of technologist” locating in the Renaissance District. - Subrecipient Agreement and completion guarantee executed and sub grantee is in compliance with the agreement.
