(Midwest Machine Products) Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the project. Midwest Machine Products is a precision machine shop that manufactures boots, valves, ferrules, strainers and sleeves for jet engine fuel control systems. The company has outgrown its present location and is proposing to build a new 7,700 square foot steel building at the southeast corner of Garst Street and Lafayette Boulevard. The parking lot for the new location will be asphalt; all old sidewalks will be removed and replaced; and the lot will be 100% landscaped. This project is critical to the continued growth of the company and will enable them to secure new and expanded contracts with the increased space. The total estimated cost of the new building is $265,000. It is estimated that this project will create three (3) new jobs within the first year, representing a new annual payroll of $60,000 and will maintain seven (7) existing permanent full time and no part time jobs, with an annual payroll of $203,000.

The project qualifies for a six (6) year real property tax abatement under the tax abatement ordinance. A review of the cost of the tax abatement shows that, assuming a project cost of $265,000 and a constant tax rate, the project will generate approximately $82,114 in new taxes over the 6 year period without abatement. With abatement, the project will generate approximately $33,940 in new taxes. Therefore, the cost of the abatement will be approximately $48,174 over the 6 year period. Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1348 approving an application for real property tax deduction.
