WHEREAS, the laws of the State of Indiana, specifically I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-1, et. seq.,
provide for the creation of economic revitalization areas within the corporate limits of the City of
Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana, for the general purpose of providing property tax
deductions to encourage private redevelopment of areas which have become undesirable for, or
impossible of, normal development and occupancy because of a lack of development, cessation
of growth, deterioration of improvements or character of occupancy, age, obsolescence,
substandard buildings or other factors which have impaired values or prevent normal
development of property or use of property; and
WHEREAS, the term "economic revitalization area" also includes any area where a
facility or group of facilities that are technologically, economically or energy obsolete are
located and where the obsolescence may lead to the decline in employment and tax revenue; and
WHEREAS, "redevelopment" means the construction of new structures in economic
revitalization areas either on unimproved real estate or on real estate upon which a prior existing
structure is demolished to allow for new construction; and
WHEREAS, "rehabilitation" means remodeling, repair or betterment of property in any
manner or any enlargement or extension of property; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to applicable laws of the State of Indiana, the Greencastle
Common Council may create said economic revitalization area through the adoption of a

hereto and marked"Exhibit A"; and
WHEREAS, the Greencastle Common Council passed Resolution 2016-1 on March 8,
2016 and advertised a public hearing for September 14, 2017; and,
WHEREAS, the Greencastle Common Council, pursuant to the laws of the State of
Indiana, does now hereby find that:
1. The estimate of the value of the new manufacturing equipment is reasonable for
projects of that nature;
2. The estimate of the number of individuals who will be employed or whose
employment will be retained can be reasonably expected to result from the proposed
installation of new manufacturing equipment;
3. The estimate of the annual salaries of those individuals who will be employed or
whose employment will be retained can reasonably be expected to result from the
proposed installation of new manufacturing equipment;
4. That any other benefits about which information was requested are benefits that
can be reasonably expected to result from the installation of new manufacturing
equipment.
5. The totality of the benefits is sufficient to justify a deduction.
