TAX ABATEMENT REPORT <br />TO: SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL <br />FROM: KATHY HAHN <br />SUBJECT: REAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FOR: <br />SWING- BATTER - SWING, LLC <br />DATE: August 26, 2014 <br />On August 25, 2014, a petition for real property tax abatement consideration for property located at 501 <br />West South Street was filed with the City Clerk by Swing- Batter -Swing LLC. Pursuant to Chapter 2, <br />Article 6, Section 2 -84.2 of the Municipal Code of the City of South Bend, this petition was referred to the <br />Department of Community Investment for purposes of investigation and preparation of a report <br />determining whether the area qualifies as an Economic Revitalization Area pursuant to I.C.6 -1.1 -12.1 and <br />whether all zoning requirements have been met. <br />The Department of Community Investment has reviewed the petition, investigated the area, and makes the <br />following report. <br />PROJECT SUMMARY <br />The petitioner is seeking a tax abatement for a professional batting facility on property currently <br />owned by the South Bend Parks Department. Swing- Batter -Swing will build an 11,200 square foot <br />first class indoor hitting and training facility. The facility will consist of six indoor tunnels and two <br />regulation pitching mounds. In addition to the facility being used by the Silver Hawks and visiting <br />Midwest League teams, the facility will be operated on an annual basis for the region. There will be <br />the opportunity for individual training, team training, or even the ability to bring out the family and <br />spend time hitting in a batting cage. The intent is to cater to both baseball and softball. The facility <br />would be run by a full -time, reputable baseball professional. There will be a second level, known as <br />the observational deck that will provide an area for parents to watch their kids participate. It will be <br />an exciting facility that will help to attract more people to downtown South Bend outside of Silver <br />
