REGULAR MEETING August 8, 2016 Councilmember Oliver Davis stated it is great to hear that it made the most sense to come to South Bend. He asked if the hundred and twenty -six jobs are already located in Mishawaka and will now move to South Bend. Mr. Whitby responded that is correct. The jobs already exist and most will go to the new location while a small handful will be transferred to their downtown South Bend headquarters and other offices around the area. There were no further questions from the Council. Those wishing to speak in favor of the bill: Samuel Brown, 222 East Navarre Street South Bend, stated it is great that we are getting this business located in South Bend. He asked if during that five (5) year period of the tax abatement if there was any option for South Bend to get any more expansion from AM General. No one from the public spoke in opposition to the bill. Mr. Whitby responded to Mr. Brown's question by stating the company is becoming more efficient with this move therefore we will be more competitive and hopefully grow that business and that may lead to more job growth which is possible at this site as there is ample room to expand.
