A RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING RESOLUTION 2012 - 4 AND DECLARING AN
ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA AND RECOMMENDED TAX DEDUCTION
(F. B. DISTRO DISTRIBUTION CENTER, INC.)
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 Common Council of the
City of Greencastle may create said economic revitalization area through the adoption of a
resolution; and,
WHEREAS, the need exists to establish an economic revitalization area in order to encourage
private redevelopment in the City of Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana; and,
WHEREAS, F. B. Distro Distribution Center, Inc., has planned the economic revitalization
of their operations by investing up to $22,850,000 in the expansion of their facility and in new
logistical distribution and information technology equipment to support additional operations
resulting in the retention of 181 jobs and the creation of 135 additional jobs at their facility. F. B.
Distro Distribution Center, Inc. seeks a tax deduction pursuant to I.C. 6 -1.1 -12.1, et. seq.; and,
WHEREAS, Statements of Benefits Forms (Real Estate and Personal Property), said forms
approved by the Department of Local Government Finance, have been submitted to the Common
Council on March 5, 2012, prior to the expansion of the facility and installation of new logistical
distribution and information technology equipment on such real estate by F. B. Distro Distribution
Center, Inc., and that such Statements of Benefits Forms are attached hereto and marked "Exhibit
A and Exhibit B"; and,
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Greencastle passed Resolution 2012 -4 on
March 13, 2012 and advertised a public hearing for April 10, 2012; and,
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Greencastle, pursuant to the laws of the
State of Indiana, does now hereby find that:
1. The estimate of the value of the facility expansion and the new logistical distribution
and information technology 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
described facility expansion and installation of new logistical distribution and information
technology 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
described facility expansion and installation of new logistical distribution and information
technology equipment;
4. That any other benefits about which information was requested are benefits that
can be reasonably expected to result from the described facility expansion
and installation of new logistical distribution and information technology equipment.
The totality of the benefits is sufficient to justify a deduction.
