RE: Personal Property Tax Abatement Petition for:
Federal -Mogul Powertrain, Inc.
Dear Council Member King:
Please find attached the Department of Community & Economic Development's report on a personal
property tax abatement petition for the above referenced petitioner. The project calls for the acquisition
and installation of new machinery and equipment at the company's South Bend Facility at 3605 W.
Cleveland Road. Also attached is a copy of the petition, Statement of Benefits form and supporting
information.
The report contains the Department's findings relative to the above petition. Federal -Mogul will be
purchasing three new anodizing machines. These machines will apply hard anodizing to the top piston
ring groove. This is a new process for Federal Mogul South Bend and this type of process is becoming
the standard for high performance pistons. The total project cost is estimated $4.45 million. The project
meets the qualifications for a five (5) year personal property tax abatement and a representative from
Federal -Mogul will be available to meet with the Committee on Monday, August 11, 2003..
Should you or any of the other Council members have any questions concerning the report or need
additional information, please feel free to call me at 235 -5828.
rely,
Michael Beitzinger
Economic Development Specialist
