EXHIBIT A to
Resolution No. 817
Rum Village Industrial Park
Findings of Fact
October 23, 1987
In 1981, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission declared the
Rum Village Industrial Park :to be blighted and on February 19,
1982, conducted a public hearing,.and adopted its Findings of Fact
based on evidence of blight present -at that time.
In 1986 the boundaries of the Rum Village Industrial Park were
expanded and on October 10, 1986, the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted its Findings of
Fact based on evidence of blight present at that time.
The South Bend Redevelopment Commission has today reviewed that
evidence of blight and finds that the Area continues to be
blighted. Blight is found in the Area based on the following
facts:
1. The Commission finds that the Area designated as the Rum
Village Industrial Park continues to be blighted due to
the continued existence of the unstable soil conditions
which was the original blighting condition. The high cost
of removing and replacing the unstable soil has been a
deterrent to private business operations that cannot be
overcome by the normal development process.
