REPORT OF CITY OF SOUTH BEND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
MAKING CERTAIN ESTIMATES
{
Pursuant to the Municipal Economic Development Act of 1965
as amended, the City of South Bend Economic Development Commission
is required to make certain estimates in regard to the purchase of
land and construction of a facility by Singer General Tire, Inc.
at the corner of Willis and Vaness Streets just off Indiana #23.
The estima es are as follows:
(1) The number of public services or facilities, including
streets, sidewalks, schools, sewers, street lights, fire and
police protection which would be made additionally necessary
or desirable on account of the proposed addition are none
and the expenses therefore are none.
(2) The total project cost of the proposed facility will be
approximately $200, 000. 00.
(3) The number of jobs to be created by the proposed
facility would be approximately 7 to 10 with an estimated
annual payroll increase of $122, 600. 00.
This is an established business in our community. The land
is properly zoned and the construction of the proposed facility
would be in conformity to the area and will provide an increase
in the tax base. It was the finding of the commission that there
should be a waiver of annexation which statement was so made
in the application. A firm commitment letter to purchase the bonds
has been received by the commission from a local institution.
