Dear Council 1Vlembers:
Enclosed is a Resolution authorizing the submission of a Site Assessment Grant application to
the Indiana Finance Authority through the Indiana Site Assessment Grant Initiative. The Grant
application is on behalf of Indiana Land Trust 731 GRN for the property known as the Hannover
property. The property is located at 731 West Chippewa Avenue and was once part of the former
AM General property. It is located east of the Studebaker Commerce Center (former AM
General/LTV facility), west of the railroad tracks and north of the South Well Field. The
application requests $92,386.00 for a Phase II Site Assessment.
The application was prepared by Quality Environmental Professionals, Inc. (QEPI) and submitted
by them in November on behalf of the property owner. A Resolution authorizing the submission
of the application was not prepared at that time therefore I am submitting this to you for your
action at the January 141" meeting.
Although the Submission Resolution was not submitted in a timely manner, I encourage your
support for this application. The project is a good one and the site assessment may lead to
eventual remediation of the site and development in conjunction with adjacent properties.
I respectfully request your approval of this Resolution
Sincerely,
L`'
