MISHAWAKA â Mishawakaâs new ice ribbon and cafe-events center at Beutter Parkâs Ironworks Plaza is a step closer to becoming a reality. City leaders say they knew they were on the right track last month when bids on the project came in at a tad more than $15 million â nearly $5 million less than the $20.5 million estimate. And there were five firms bidding. With the blessing of the Common Council and Redevelopment Commission, the city signed off on a $50 million stimulus bond issue to pay for the ice ribbon project and nearly a dozen other planned construction projects this week. The council on Monday gave its approval and on Tuesday, the redevelopment authority signed off.
