South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Special Meeting August 8, 1980 <br />6. NEW BUS MSS: <br />d. Tax Abatement re st from Homer <br />Fit er . re ative `to An area <br />tobe purchased by New'En6rgy <br />Mr. Ellison: Mr. Kernan, City Controller, <br />who is the administration's coordinator <br />for this project is present, along with <br />Mr. Dick Mintz who represents the <br />New Energy Corporation, and Mr. Cal .Todd <br />who is also part of the New Energy Cor- <br />Mr. . Mintz: I an here on behalf of <br />Mr. Fitterling who owns a piece of <br />property of approximately seventy acres <br />on the southwest side of the City of <br />Sou Bend. I am also here on behalf <br />of the New Energy Corporation of Indiana, <br />who has an option on that property and <br />who intends to construct a large scale <br />ethmol.plant. The plant will cost <br />approximately one hundred million <br />dol ars to construct. It will process <br />co into fuel alcohol. During the <br />process of construction there will be <br />be en 300 -500 contruction workers <br />on ite. After the project is completed <br />it 'l1 have 130 permanent employees in <br />the plant and it is estimated that approxi- <br />mately three times that number outside of <br />the plant. For instance, we have an <br />estimate from a trucking fire that says <br />there will be 243 jobs created in that <br />in try alone. The land in question <br />(a 0 acre parcel) is located just north <br />of the extension of Calvert Street. This <br />is a site that is just west of Olive <br />Street. The site itself is the best <br />sita that we could find inside the City <br />of 3outh Bend. However, it is classically <br />an underutilized site. Probably the biggest <br />pro lem with the site and the reason it <br />may be underutilized (even though it nay <br />hav been setting there on a railroad track) <br />is t there is some three feet of what I <br />cal - "muck" which has to be removed in <br />ord r for that site to be utilized. It needs <br />to be removed so that it will be a normal <br />ind trial site. On behalf of New Energy, <br />-12- <br />
