RE: Declaratory Resolution: Real Property Tax Abatement for Blueprint, LLC
Dear Council Member Warner,
Please find the enclosed Declaratory Resolution and supporting information pertaining to a tax
abatement petition submitted by Blueprint, LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company. This
petition package includes:
• Department of Community Investment's summary report
• Petition for abatement
• Statement of Benefits form (SB-1 / Real Property)
• Supporting information
The report contains the Department's findings relative to the above-mentioned petition. The
petitioner, Blueprint, LLC, is a related organization to HRP Construction, Inc., which is a local
civil construction company specializing in water and wastewater construction. The property for
which the abatement would apply will be home to a new corporate complex for HRP
Construction, which has outgrown its current facilities and plans to increase their footprint in
South Bend with a new complex in South Bend. The buildings will cover 30,000 sq ft. and will
include a new maintenance shop and warehouse as well as an updated and modern office
building. This project allows HRP Construction to consolidate regional operations to one site.
The total investment for this project is $7,300,000. The project meets the qualifications for a
seven-year(7) real property tax abatement.
A representative from Blueprint, LLC/ HRP Construction will be available to meet with the

RE: HRP Construction Tax Abatement Request
Dear Mr. Molnar:
Thank you for your consideration of our requested tax abatement for a new building that Blueprint
LLC / HRP Construction Inc are proposing to build in South Bend. As requested, we would like to
clarify the couple of items that you were questioning.
The first question pertained to the relationship between Blueprint, LLC and HRP Construction Inc.
Blueprint, LLC and HRP Construction Inc. have common ownership. Blueprint, LLC is a property
holding company that owns and leases the property to HRP Construction Inc. Blueprint, LLC does not
own any other properties or provide any other services other than owning and leasing this specific
property to HRP Construction Inc. The lease would be a triple net lease, where HRP Construction Inc.
would be responsible for the property taxes and ultimately be the beneficiary of any tax abatement.
The second question requested more detail on this expansion/consolidation project. HRP
Construction Inc. has been based in South Bend since 1980 when it was started as H.R.D. Corp.,
which was soon changed to HRP Construction Inc. in 1981. As the company evolved and grew, we
moved from our original home on West Washington Street, South Bend, to our current location at
5777 Cleveland Road, South Bend, in 1992/1993. Since then, we have outgrown the size of our
property, our office size, and our shop/warehouse size. Currently HRP Construction's main operations
are based out of our 2.7 acre property at 5777 Cleveland Road, South Bend, a 15 acre rented
storage yard in Mishawaka, Indiana, one (1) or more rented shop/warehouse spaces for additional
space to repair equipment and store materials depending on our needs, and three (3) rented storage
units for document storage.As our business operations have grown, the rented spaces were added
as a temporary solution to our ultimate need to consolidate to a single larger property and building(s)
and to continue growing our business. Our proposed facility would be approximately 20 acres that we
recently annexed into the City of South Bend. This larger single lot would allow us to combine all our
operations onto one property with the additional space needed to continue to grow our business. Our
new location would include a new approximately 9,000 SF office which would be over double our

existing office space as well as a 15,000 SF shop/warehouse space which would also be
approximately twice as much space as we currently own and rent. Currently, we have found it difficult
to hire additional people that are needed due to not having the space to house them. We are
expecting to hire four new people. Our proposed new facility would be constructed with additional
space for continued growth in South Bend.
We hope that this information is helpful and answers your questions. Please don't hesitate to reach
out if you have any additional questions. We are excited and hopeful to continue our growth in South
Bend.

shop/warehouse allowing us to perform more equipment maintenance at our new facility as well as
additional indoor storage to protect our current equipment investment.
In addition to these two buildings planned for immediate need,we are also planning to construct a
