ADOPTED OFFICE OF THE MAYOR CITY of SOUTH BEND ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 South Bend Common Council 4th Floor, County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Members of the Council: AREA 219 284 -9261 September 15, 1980 Re: Urban Development Action Grant Application I am submitting for your consideration, on September 15, 1980 a resolution authorizing submittal of an Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant, if approved, would be used in conjunction with private sector investment to develop the proposed ethanol pro- duction facility. If UDAG funds can be obtained, they will be used to finance the following public portions of the project: (1) acquisition of land for public right -of -way; (2) preparation of the site and roadway; (3) soil stabilization, excavation and backfill; (4) access roadway construction, improvement, and signal - ization; (5) water and sewer line extensions; (6) overhead electrical transmission line relocation; (7) acquisition and relocation of adversely impacted residents. Then the privately financed portion of the project would include: (1) a 110 million dollar fuel grade anhydrous ehhanol pro- duction facility. Members of the Common Council September 15, 1980 Page -2- The nature of the site is such that public investment is necessary to make the project happen in South Bend, Indiana. The proposed developers of the project, New Energy Corporation of Indiana, have a similar option on a site in LaPorte County that would require very little preparation for development. I believe that the proposed project will have tremendous direct and spin -off benefits for the City of South Bend. Not only will there be an estimated 1,000 new jobs and a large in- crease in the tax base, but the prospects for related industries to locate in South Bend as a result of this facility are sub- stantial. Therefore, I am requesting your favorable consideration of the attached resolution. Sincere , G. Ro er Parent ROP:des
