South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - December 18, 1998 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />r. continued.... <br />Mrs. Kolata asked Mr. Heinz if the time <br />frame for rezoning the parcel of land from <br />"IP" to "D" light industrial and the time <br />frame for constructing the road on <br />Ameritech Drive would affect Eagle <br />Freight's anticipated move -in date. Mr. <br />Heinz stated that the most critical part of <br />its proposed project is its need to construct <br />the new facility. He knows that the <br />property needs to be rezoned and that the <br />road won't be complete until late spring or <br />early summer. <br />Ms. Schwartz asked Mr. Heinz if Eagle <br />Freight is not awarded the job order by <br />Tech Data, then would Eagle Freight still <br />construct the new facility. Mr. Heinz <br />stated that they would. He also stated that <br />South Bend ranked number three out of <br />750 air freight carrier stations, in terms of <br />growth, quality, on time performance and <br />profitability. <br />Mr. Heinz also stated that if Eagle Freight <br />does not get the Tech Data job order, then <br />he would like to put a second office on the <br />north side of the new facility and sublease <br />three doors on that side of the building to <br />small air freight carriers. <br />Mr. Hunt asked Mr. Heinz if Eagle Freight <br />plans to increase its number of employees <br />after Eagle Freight moves into its new <br />facility. Mr. Heinz stated that Eagle <br />Freight currently has 36 employees and <br />anticipates having a total of 50 employees <br />HAWPDATATOMMSM121898.MIN -20- <br />
