<br />REPORT OF CITY OF SOUTH BEND
<br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
<br />MAKING CERTAIN ESTIMATES
<br />Pursuant to the Municipal Economic Development Act of 1965 as amended, the City of South
<br />Bend Economic Development Commission is required to make certain estimates in regard to the pro-
<br />posed construction of a building by Gentner Packing Co., Inc. of South Bend, Indiana. The
<br />estimates are as follows:
<br />(1) The number of public services or facilities, including streets,
<br />sidewalks, schools, sewers, street lights, fire and police protection
<br />which would be made additionally necessary or desirable on account of
<br />the proposed construction are none and the expenses therefore are none.
<br />(2) The total project cost of the proposed facilities was originally
<br />estimated for a two -phase program. Phase I at a cost of $500,000 has
<br />been completed. Phase II at an approximate cost of $150,000 will com-
<br />plete the entire project covering purchase of real estate and construction
<br />of a building thereon and equipment therein.
<br />(3) The number of jobs to be created by the proposed facilities will
<br />remain as originally stated at fifteen immediately with a potential of
<br />fifty or more.
<br />A,
<br />This is Phase II of an expansion program of a well known operation in the community, and
<br />since this property is located in the County, we are working in conjunction with the St. Joseph
<br />County Council. A firm commitment letter to purchase the additional bonds has been received by
<br />the Commission from a local institution.

<br />Mr. Frank Miles, President
<br />Area Plan Commission
<br />County -City Building
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Dear Mr. Miles:
<br />Our Commission has an application for the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds in the amount of
<br />$500,000 to enable the building of a major plant addition to the Gentner Packing Company, Inc.
<br />at their present plant location on West Roosevelt Road, St. Joseph County, Indiana.
<br />In accordance with the Economic Development Act, State of Indiana, our Commission is to forward
<br />a statement of public service to the Area Plan Commission having jurisdiction of the area in whic
<br />the proposed facility is located. Inasmuch as this is a plant addition at their existing loca-
<br />tion, we have reason to believe that this would cause no particular change in the public services
<br />needed. Mr. Isadore Gentner, President of Gentner Packing Company, Inc., has informed us that
<br />the company has made considerable investment in the last few years in meeting pollution control
<br />standards and health standards.
<br />Present employment of Gentner Packing Company is approximately 100 people, and the plant addition
<br />should enable the employment of 25 to 75 additional people. The construction of the plant would
<br />also help in maintaining the county's tax base and property tax yield. We recommend this appli-
<br />cation to you for your consideration and would appreciate your affirmative answer.
