South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -June 25, 2008 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(1) continued... <br />know whether it's generating more than we <br />put into it. I somehow doubt that it is. In <br />fact, as long as it's in a TIF area it's going to <br />be staying there for many years anyway. I <br />guess that's under the old law, which is <br />what50 years it can stay in the TIF area? <br />So I would ask you to not consider it and to <br />turn it down. <br />I have another question. I understand that the <br />TIF area is only for industrial distribution, <br />it's not to be used for housing. I understand <br />in this proposal they have housing <br />development. And the laws for TIF, it's not <br />to be used for housing. It gives certain <br />examples, and I have a list of them here, I'm <br />sure you know: manufacturing, industrial, <br />warehousing, research, development, <br />distribution, transportation related projects. <br />Not housing. There's housing in this project, <br />as far as I understand it. So, it's not to be <br />used for that. Auten Rd is not in the TIF <br />area. I understand the City Council already <br />allocated $ l OM in TIF monies to go ahead <br />with Auten Rd. That isn't even in the TIF <br />area. It isn't even in the Portage Prairie area. <br />KELLY HAVENS: 12032 Timberline <br />Trace, Granger. My concerns with TIFs are <br />that the purpose seems to be to take a <br />blighted area and give it a chance to become <br />economically viable. I guess at the Portage <br />Prairie area and I don't see that it's blighted. <br />It's green space, it's farms, it's homes. They <br />don't look to me like they need rescued. One <br />can argue that they can be making more <br />20 <br />
