RE: Real Property Tax Abatement for:
Lock Joint Tube, LLC
Dear Council Member Ferlic:
PHONE: 574 /235 -9371
FAx:574/235 -9021
With the real property improvements, the Company now qualifies for a five real property
tax abatement. In our initial report to the Common Council the Department of
Community Investment explained that the Company would qualify for a five to seven
year real property abatement depending on their selection of contractors. The Company
has since informed our department that they do not intend to submit contractor
information. Hence, they now qualify for a five year real property abatement. The
project cost is $1.1 million in new building construction for a 30,000 square foot addition
and $2,048,900 for existing building improvements. It is estimated that the projects (they
have petitioned for a personal property abatement) will create six to eight new,
permanent, full -time jobs within the first year of production representing a payroll of
$189,000 to $251,000; and the projects will maintain one hundred ninety-three (193)
existing, permanent full -time and no existing, part-time jobs representing an annual
payroll of approximately $10,300,000.
A representative from Lock Joint Tube will be available to meet with the Committee on
Monday, May 12, 2014
Should you or any of the other Council members have any questions concerning the
report, or need additional information, please feel free to call
at 235 -9339. 1 � __ _- - .__
