These extensions would not alter the <br /> length of the abatement itself, however. It has been a general practice, when granting a tax <br /> abatement, to allow a two-year designation period for the project to get underway, be completed, <br /> and receive its higher reassessed value. The clock on the designation period starts when the <br /> abatement is granted by Council. Sometimes a project takes a bit longer to get underway and/or <br /> be completed, and sometimes the Assessor's office does not issue the reassessed value (and <br /> accompanying Form 11)within the two-year timeframe. For these situations (detailed below) the <br /> petitioners are asking Council to grant extensions of the designation period on the following tax ! <br /> abatements. <br /> Attached please find proposed forms of resolutions modifying and reconfirming the adoptions of <br /> declaratory resolutions for Historic JMS Building LLC,JSK Development Inc.,RDistrict One <br /> LLC, Imagineering Enterprises Inc., Tower at Washington Square LLC which combined <br /> were granted a total of eleven real property tax abatements. <br /> DANIEL J.BUCKE:wrEYER ALKEYNA ALDRIDGE PAMELA MEYER TIJI GoRCORAN <br /> BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ENGAGEMENT&ECONObDC EMPOWERMENT NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPNIFNT PLANNING&COMMUNITY ITY RESOURCES <br /> EXCELLENCE ; ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 1400S County-City Building i 227W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p574.235.9371 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
