Summary Report: The South Bend AICP Technical Assistance Team
Community Planning Assistance Team Report
South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Stephen Luecke requested the assistance of APA following the sudden and unexpected death of the city's director of community and economic development, Jon R. Hunt. The mayor sought the help of outside professionals to ensure the most effective transition possible.
The AICP Technical Assistance Team (now the Community Planning Assistance Teams program) was charged with two areas of concern: to define the roles, responsibilities, and nature of the position of the director of community and economic development; and directly related, to examine the programmatic and organizational structure of the department of community and economic development necessary to address the planning and development issues of the City of South Bend.
