Inland Distributing is <br /> a distributor of building materials which has three locations in <br /> Indiana. There is one here in South Bend, one in Elkhart and one <br /> in Fort Wayne. The South Bend location is the oldest and least <br /> efficient of the other locations and if the present location is <br /> to remain an office for Inland Distributing, it would have to be- <br /> come more efficient. <br /> The proposed addition will expand the present facility <br /> by adding some 50,000 square feet of warehouse space. The appro- <br /> val of the tax abatement will insure the continuation of the pro- <br /> ject and will result in at least five new jobs being created as <br /> well as preserving 45 jobs which are presently existing at the <br /> facility. The new jobs will add an additional $100, 000.00 per <br /> year to the payroll which is presently totalling around <br /> $1, 000, 000. 00. <br /> The expansion and construction project is viewed as an <br /> economic furtherance to the City of South Bend and in line with <br /> the Enterprise Zone status in which this project is located. The <br /> expansion will not have an adverse effect on any competing busi- <br /> ness now existing in the City of South Bend. The nearest compe- <br /> tition that Inland Distributing faces is in Kalamazoo, Michigan. <br /> Any other information necessary can be supplied by In- <br /> land Distributing or by myself and I would request that the Peti- <br /> tion for Tax Abatement be approved. <br /> Sincerely <br /> FCB: sab rederick C. Bo, *- <br />
