Our office right now is at 909 East Jefferson, and we also have another plant on 6th Street in Mishawaka. We are primarily manufacturers of store fixtures. We also convert acrylic sheets for a variety of products - refrigeration dividers and that sort of thing. The new plant will replace the 909 Eas Jefferson plant witha 22,000 square foot plant. The building will be a steel constructed building witi wainscoting around it. There will be a 2,000 squ re foot office on the front portion of it.

The area is approxi- mately 412 acres in size and is located entirely with- in the city limits. The only land to be acquired by Redevelopment will be the 76 acres comprising the ethanol site. Public acquisition is necessary in order to use TIF.
