Tax Abatements <br /> <br />(2) continued… <br /> <br />It is estimated that the total project will retain <br />146 employees with an annual payroll of <br />$5,545,904. <br /> <br />The petitioner has not received any previous <br />tax abatements. The property is properly <br />zoned for the proposed project. The property <br />is located in the Airport Economic <br />Development Area, which is a tax increment <br />allocation area; therefore, the petition for real <br />property tax deduction must first be approved <br />by the South Bend Redevelopment <br />Commission.

Staff recommends approving five <br />years of real property abatement, which <br />allows the staff some flexibility when the <br />detail about contractors to be used is known. <br /> <br />In the case of the real property abatement, <br />total taxes to be abated during a (3) three- <br />year abatement period are estimated at <br />$41,998.
