South Bend Redevelopment Commission RE: Tax Abatement for Hoosier Tank and Manufacturing, Inc. April 18, 2011 Page 2 As part of the total project, the Petitioner is submitting a request for a seven -year real property tax abatement for the addition it intends to construct on their building. The project's total cost is estimated at up to $1,935,000. The project will move the company's truck dock to a better location that will eliminate a major traffic obstruction due to trucks using the street for turning and backing up to the current dock for deliveries. This is something the City has been working with Hoosier Tank to alleviate for approximately two years. Total taxes to be abated during the (5) five -year abatement period are estimated at $15,607. Total additional taxes to be paid as a result of the project during the five -year abatement period are estimated at $82,001. EMPLOYMENT IMPACT Per the petition, it is estimated that the project will create fifteen (15) new, permanent full -time positions with an annual payroll $600,000. The project will also maintain seventy -two (72) existing permanent full -time positions, including 22 existing permanent full -time minority employees, with a total annual payroll of $3,000,000. ABATEMENT QUALIFICATION 1.
