<br />RESOLUTION NO. 321 -72 - ATTACHMENTS
<br />Economic Development Commission of South Bend
<br />County -City Building
<br />South Bend, Indiana 46601
<br />Attention: Karl G. King, Jr., President
<br />Dear Mr. King:
<br />August 4, 1972
<br />In Re: Metalstamp, Inc.
<br />This letter is in response to the proposal set forth in your letter of
<br />June 23, 1972 pertaining to the issuance of a revenue bond for Metalstamp, Inc.
<br />of Walkerton, Indiana.
<br />As I noted in our telephone discussion covering this matter the land in
<br />question loaa.ted along Indiana Highway No. 23 in Greene Township is presently
<br />zoned "A" Agricultural which does not permit manufacturing activities. However,
<br />Metalstamp, Inc. has petitioned for the subject property to be zoned from "A"
<br />Agricultural to "M" Manufacturing. This matter will be given public hearing by
<br />the Area Plan Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting August 15, 1972 at
<br />7:30 p.m. Following the public hearing the Area Plan Commission will submit its
<br />recommendation to the County Commissioners for final action of granting or denying
<br />the petition for changing the property from "A" Agricultural to "M" Manufacturing
<br />as proposed by Metalstamp, Inc.
<br />Should the property in question be rezoned to "M" Manufacturing your Commission
<br />can anticipate favorable action on the part of the Area Plan Commission for the
<br />proposed bond issue in favor of Metalstamp, Inc.
<br />HB:ld
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />HOWARD BELLINGER,
<br />Executive Director
<br />CC: Mayor Miller

<br />Dear Mr. King:
<br />June 27, 1972 "
<br />The Board of School Trustees for the South Bend Community School Corporation
<br />endorses wholeheartedly the construction project of Metalstamp, Inc. at
<br />Walkerton, Indiana, to build an all -steel plant building on a fifteen acre tract
<br />of land located on Indiana Highway #23 south of town in Greene Township.
<br />The School Corporation does not consider that this project would cause any major
<br />change in school enrollments nor bring any burden upon the present school facilities.
<br />HG /mm
<br />Sincerely,
<br />Howard Goodhew, President
<br />Board of School Trustees
<br />m
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, Attorney for the
<br />Economic Development Commission made the presentation for the resolution. Metalstamp has a firm
<br />commitment from a bank to purchase the bonds. There is a need for this type of operation in
<br />the community. Several contracts are coming to Metalstamp which they cannot adequately fulfill
<br />with their present facilities. They will provide opportunities for unskilled workers and also
<br />for skilled tool and die makers. The project will be beneficial to our community. Councilman
<br />Szymkowiak moved that the resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Parent. The resolution
<br />was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent,
<br />Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth).
