Schwartz's request.
O -T -D Corporation is in the business of
manufacturing, selling, leasing and
servicing containers for use in the
pharmaceuticals, agriculture
petrochemical, automotive, printing and
other types of industries. This project
involves expanding the versatility of
processes related to the manufacturing of
aluminum containers. The equipment to
be installed will consist primarily of
machines for fastening various parts of the
aluminum containers. The total estimated
cost of the new equipment is $200,000.
Per the petition, it is estimated that this
project will result in the creation of two (2)
new permanent full time positions
representing an annual payroll of $48,000
and will maintain fifty -four (54) existing
permanent full -time and part-time jobs
representing an annual payroll of
$1,500,000.
A review of the tax abatements previously
granted finds that O -T -D Corporation and
its parent company, Aledo Company, Inc.,
have been granted previous tax
abatements. O -T -D Corporation is in
compliance with the reporting
requirements for the previous abatements.
The building commissioner has reviewed
the petition and finds the property to be

review of the Redevelopment area maps
finds that the property is located in the
Airport Economic Development Area,
which is a Tax Incremental Financing
Allocation Area; therefore, this petition
first requires the approval of the South
Bend Redevelopment Commission. A
review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance
finds that O -T -D Corporation meets the
qualifications for a five (5) year personal
property tax abatement under Tangible
Personal Property Tax Abatement.
Using the estimated equipment cost of
$200,000, the taxes to be generated over
the five -year period will total
approximately $82,852. Taxes to be
abated will total approximately $68,161.
Taxes still to be paid will total
approximately $14,691.
Mike Beitzinger stated that O -T -D
Corporation does meet the requirements
for the five -year personal property tax
abatement. Mr. Quinn, Chief Operating
Officer of O -T -D Corporation, stated that
O -T -D Corporation is a rapidly growing
manufacturer of collapsible aluminum
shipping containers. O -T -D's project calls
for an improved method for attaching the
sheet to the frames for the sides and ends
of the containers. O -T -D Corporation's
