While also following zoning standards, safeguarding natural resources, including the water supply and providing both transparency and accountability, with no non-disclosure agreements.NextNRG's proposed energy center would qualify and have to follow these standards if it moves forward.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2oEhyc_1GzdbPwe00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2oEhyc_1GzdbPwe00" width="800" height="450" >But the city says they have had no communication with the company. Instead, they learned about the project plan Friday from "Inside Indiana Business."The mayor says the framework has been in the works long before NextNRG's proposal was revealed."So, we are gonna wait and see what what their plan is or what they're we're hoping to do. And we will see how you know, they're making sure that or we're making sure that they're fitting into these standards. So, this the ball, is really more in their court to reach out and make sure you know; if they're gonna need utility services from us they need to reach out to us,” said Mayor James Mueller, South Bend.This Neighborhood first framework is effective immediately</div></body>
