South Bend redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting - September 25, 1981 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (continued) <br />c. continued... <br />we are going to establish 75 new jobs, with over <br />$1 nillion per year in payroll. We are also going <br />to tuy a substantial amount of new machinery that is <br />goi g to be placed in these structures and on this <br />pro erty. That means that the machinery will also <br />rea h the tax base. We are providing jobs for local <br />peo le. That is a definite benefit to the community. <br />We are also going to be providing a product. good, <br />low-cost product locally for local manufacturing <br />pla ts. So this is the sort of project I think that <br />deserves tax abatement both from the standpoint of <br />making unproductive land within the City productive <br />and in terms of providing additional jobs and payroll <br />increase to the City of South Bend.

Let the <br />record show that Mr. Robinson voted against this <br />request. <br />d. Commission approval requested to amend the current <br />Consulting Agreement with Edward G.
