As a consequence thereof, the <br />Council has determined that the property in question qualifies for tax abatement <br />under Section 2 -84 of the South Bend Municipal Code and the standards the Council <br />applies in connection with such determinations. <br />Section VI. The designation as an Economic Revitalization area shall be limited <br />to two (2) calendar years from the date of the adoption of this Resolution by the <br />Common Council. <br />Section VII.
