This project is related to the Harrison Management Company project. Container Service Corporation is relocating its corru- gated container manufacturing operation from Dowagiac, Michigan to Block 5 of the Airport Industrial Park in South Bend, Indiana. The proposed bond issue will finance the purchase by Container Service Corporation of the equipment for this facility. The real estate and building construction would be financed through the City of South Bend Economic Development Revenue Bond (Harrison Management Company, an Indiana Partnership Project) . It is expected that these projects will result in the creation of approximately 40 new jobs in South Bend with an annual payroll of approximately $1,000, 000. St. Joseph Bank and Trust Company has issued its commitment letter to purchase the bonds to finance this project and the Harrison Management Company project. We respectfully request the Council 's favorable con- sideration of these projects with passage of the Ordinances on December 2. Both Ordinances received first reading on Novem- ber 18, 1985.
