a. Staff report on disposition of

Jon Hunt noted that the Commission
has received a proposal from the
Management Consortium, Inc.,
Chicago, Illinois. The proposal is
for the purchase and development of
Lot 3 of the Blackthorn Corporate
Park. Lot 3 is the parcel designated
by the Commission for hotel use.
Mr. Riggs read the staff report on
the project.
The Management Consortium is
proposing to develop the COMFORT
SUITES INN AT BLACKTHORN.
The proposed hotel would be a part
of the Choice Hotels International

contain 150 suites, of which, six
would be convertible, double bay,
hospitality suites and six would
include in -room Jacuzzi's. The hotel
would also include a 40 -seat table
service restaurant, serving three
meals, and a cocktail area. A fitness
center complete with indoor pool
would also be included. Each suite
would have separate living /working
and sleeping areas with one king or
two queen beds (plus queen sleeper
sofa); direct dial phones; two TV's
and video - player; telephone data -
ports; and a mini -bar with
refrigerator and microwave.
The proposed purchase price for the
4.463 acre parcel is $120,000 (or
$26,888 per acre). This price is
consistent with previous land sales in
the Corporate Park. The required
faithful performance guaranty of
$12,000 has been received.
Preliminary schematic floor plans
and a site plan were included with
the proposal.
The staff feels that this project would
be a huge catalyst for the future
development of the Corporate Park
and the entire City. However, some
issues still need to be clarified
between the staff and the developer.
The staff recommends that the
Commission refer this proposal for
staff review. The staff anticipates

that the proposal would be included
on the Commission's agenda for its
meeting of January 19.
Mr. Rourke, representing the
Management Consortium, Inc.
showed some sample layouts of the
rooms. He noted that Comfort Inns
is the fastest growing hotel chain in
the country. Comfort Inns
(Manangement Consortium) has
investigated the local market and
feels positive about the investment
here. He cautioned getting the
financing together may take some
time, but they feel good about taking
the risk.
Jon Hunt asked about the exterior
treatment.
Mr. Rourke responded that the
exterior will be warm brick, similar
to the Gonderman Project.
Jon Hunt commented that the three
projects ( Gonderman, Golf Course
and Hotel) will compliment each
other well.
Upon a motion by Ms. Auburn,
seconded by Mr. Donoho and
unanimously carried, the Commission
referred the proposal to the staff for
further report and Commission action
at the January 19, 1996 meeting.

Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report
on the project. Lock Joint Tube Inc.
is a manufacturer of high quality
welded steel tubing. Their project
calls for the purchase and installation
of a mill for the manufacture of
electric welded steel tubing. The
mill will be the seventh mill Lock
Joint currently operates and would be
used to produce large diameter tube.
Due to operations flow, the mill will
be located at the Walnut Street
address in space currently used for
warehousing. The new mill will
allow Lock Joint to better service its
current customers and to enter new
markets, especially the store fixture,
exercise equipment and truck exhaust
markets. The total projected cost of
the equipment is approximately $2.5
million.
Lock Joint Thbe, whose underlying
business was acquired out of Chapter
11 Bankruptcy in 1991, is enjoying
growth in volume and employment.
Since bankruptcy, employment has
grown from 154 to its current level
of 245. To meet current demand and
maintain its competitive position, this
project needs to be completed. Lock
Joint's two primary competitors are
modernizing their operations and are
aggressively pursuing many of Lock

Joint's current customers. The
implementation of this project will
enable Lock Joint to maintain its
competitive position and better serve
its customers.
It is estimated that this project will
result in the creation of ten (10) new
permanent full time positions
representing an annual payroll of
$300,000, and will maintain two
hundred and forty five (245) existing
permanent full-time and part-time
jobs representing an annual payroll
of $6,950,000.
Lock Joint Tube, Inc. has been
Cgranted there previous tax
abatements, a 5 year personal
property abatement in January 1992
and a 10 year real property
abatement in December 1992 and a 5
year personal property abatement in
January 1995. Lock Joint Tube, Inc.
is in compliance with the reporting
requirements for these previous
abatements. The property is
properly zoned for the proposed use.
The property is located in an area
presently designated as a 'Pax
Abatement Impact Area, and is also
located in the Sample /Ewing
Development Area, which is a Tax
Incremental Financing Allocation
Area, therefore, the petition first
requires the approval of the South
Bend Redevelopment Commission.

year period. With abatement, the
project will generate approximately
$44,059. Therefore, the cost of the

equipment to be installed will consist
primarily of machines for cutting,

Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report
on the project. Midwest Windows &
Doors is a manufacturer of vinyl
windows and patio doors for
replacement and new construction
markets. Windows and doors are
fabricated from vinyl lineals.
Insulated glass is also manufactured
for the windows and doors. Products
are distributed and sold to
distributors and dealers in a
surrounding five state area. Their
project calls for the purchase and
installation of one Aculite glass
cutting table and two CNC vinyl
cutting machines. The total
estimated cost of the new equipment
is $125,000.
Midwest Windows and Doors
recently purchased the business from
Fiberlux, a division of TreDegar
Industries, Inc. Fiberlux in South
Bend was a cost center which was
not making enough profit to sustain
the operation. TreDegar had planned
to eventually close the plant. The
buy -out of Fiberlux's South Bend
plant by Midwest Windows & Doors
saved the business and 49 jobs. The
restructuring of the manufacturing
processes, which includes the above
equipment, is imperative to the
success of the company and the tax
abatement is an integral and
necessary part of the restructuring
process. The new equipment will
allow Midwest Windows and Doors
to better service its customers,

payroll of $733,000.
Midwest Windows and Doors, Inc.

tax abatement consideration. The
property is properly zoned for the
proposed use. The property is not
located in an area presently
