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 proposed con-
struction of a building by Gentner Packing Co. , Inc. of South Bend,

(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 con-
struction are none and the expenses therefore are none.

originally estimated for a two-phase program. Phase I
at a cost of $500, 000 has been completed. Phase II at
an approximate cost of $150, 000 will complete the entire
project covering purchase of real estate and construction
of a building thereon and equipment therein.
(3) The number of jobs to be created by the proposed
facilities will remain as originally stated at fifteen immediately
with a potential of fifty or more.

Dear Mr. Goodhew:
Our Commission has an application for the issuance of
industrial revenue bonds to finance a major addition to the
Gentner Packing Company, Inc. plant on West Roosevelt
Road, St.Joseph County.
In accordance with the Economic Development Act, State of
Indiana, our Commission is to forward a statement of public
service to the school corper ation having jurisdiction of the area
in which the proposed facility is to be built. The reason for
this is to indicate the impact of additional employment of this
facility on the school system. Gentner Packing now employs
approximately 100 people and this addition could enable the
employment of an additional 25 to 75 people.
The Gentner hacking Company plant is presently operating
and Mr. Isadore Gentner, the president, has indicated that
this plant addition will simply add productive capacity at their
4 present location. He has also informed us that Gentner Packing
Company, Inc. has done considerable work in conjunction with
pollution control and health standards in the last few years.
