  • Short-term challenges must be faced as the county faces growing pains west of South Bend

    1 month ago | southbendtribune.com | Jeff Rea

    Construction of the AWS campus and Synergy Cells Plant near New Carlisle, Ind., is causing increased traffic on U.S. 20 and Indiana 2. A diverging diamond interchange at Indiana 2/Larrison is planned for 2026 to improve traffic flow and safety. The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department is increasing patrols to help manage traffic in the construction areas. If you regularly travel U.S. 20 or Indiana 2 on the county's west side, you’ve noticed a significant increase in traffic in recent months.

  • South Bend needs more builders and less wreckers in order to keep the city thriving

    2 months ago | southbendtribune.com | Jeff Rea

    Public meetings have become unproductive, with attendees prioritizing complaints and extreme accusations over meaningful suggestions.

News organizations across the state called attention to the loss of 350,000 acres of farmland, or about 2% of the total inventory. The report contained very few surprises.

  • Where will new companies find the workers to fill over 2,000 new jobs in the region?

    Jun 7, 2024 | finance.yahoo.com | Jeff Rea

    Recent announcements by GM/Samsung and AWS have generated a lot of excitement in the region. The two projects alone could bring more than $14 Billion in new investment and create over 2,000 new jobs (1,700 at GM/Samsung; 400 at AWS). Construction is currently underway on both sites. And that doesn't even factor in the just-confirmed news earlier this week that Microsoft plans to build data centers at the St. Joe Farm in Granger and in LaPorte.
