The dated future

Documented dates ahead, as announced

The next weeks: The record Mishawaka stands in already holds its near dates. On 12 November 2026 — two days after this section's check date — the Twin Branch hydroelectric plant's license future is the subject of a public open house, the plant still generating as the oldest in its fleet's system; the Industrial Revolution section carries the plant's record, and the license question is open in it. On 25 November 2026 two clocks run out together: the public-comment period on the Microsoft campus's draft air permit closes, and the Linden sewer works' final completion date arrives. The Indiana 933 resurfacing closes its announced course inside the same month. Each of these is a documented date at announced strength; none is an accomplished fact, and the update cycle owns what each becomes.

The turning year: On 1 January 2027 the county offices Mishawaka lives under change hands on the November 2026 election's returns — the county's record, carried in the South Bend build's present file, pointed to here once. Candidate filing for Mishawaka's own municipal election opens on 6 January 2027. Between mid-December 2026 and early April 2027 the Microsoft site's dewatering wells work their approved course. In the spring of 2027 the Saint Joseph cancer center's first building season completes its announced course, its opening undated in the record reached; the joint training center's announced late-2026 completion will have been proved or moved by then — it stands unverified here.

2027, the election year: Mishawaka's municipal election falls on 2 November 2027, by the state's election code — the mayor, the city clerk and all nine council seats on the ballot, the officers named in this section's frame entry serving terms that run to that election. Around it the building calendar the entries above have dated: Hums Elementary receiving its students in August 2027, its old building's demolition finishing the same month; the Gurley Leep Auto Campus completing, as announced, in October 2027; Woodfield Crossing complete "by November 2027" in its builder's phrase. The 100 Center carries no completion date at all — the mayor's own "unknown" of April 2026 is the latest word, and prints as the word. Beyond them all stands the frame the mayor himself set: the bicentennial of 2033, on the count of the city's own anniversaries.
