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.
