These extensions would not alter the <br /> length of the abatement itself, however. It has been a general practice, when granting a tax <br /> abatement, to allow a two-year designation period for the project to get underway, be completed, <br /> and receive its higher reassessed value. The clock on the designation period starts when the <br /> abatement is granted by Council. Sometimes a project takes a bit longer to get underway and/or <br /> be completed, and sometimes the Assessor's office does not issue the reassessed value (and <br /> accompanying Form 11)within the two-year timeframe. For these situations (detailed below) the <br /> petitioners are asking Council to grant extensions of the designation period on the following tax <br /> abatements. <br /> Attached please find proposed forms of resolutions modifying and reconfirming the adoptions of <br /> declaratory resolutions for Historic JMS Building LLC,JSK Development Inc.,RDistrict One <br /> LLC, Imagineering Enterprises Inc., Tower at Washington Square LLC which combined <br /> were granted a total of eleven real property tax abatements. <br /> DAHIELJ.BucKEx.N EYER ALKEYNAALDRIDGE PAMELA MEYER ThM CoRGORAN <br /> BUShmm DEVELOPMENT ENGAGEMENT&EGo\owc EMPOWERMENT NEIGHBORHOOD DEvFmPN1ENT PLAN MG&COMMUNM RESOuROES <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 14005 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p574.235.9371 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
