    Description of Proiect Area

    The additional land in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District is located in the City ofNappanee and is described as the area in the legal descriptions, maps, and plats attached to this Plan.

    Proiect Description

    The Commission intends to facilitate the development and improvement of the NappaneeConsolidated TIF District by the acquisition and improvement of the public right-of-ways, bridges,drainage and public roads in and serving this area, the construction, installation, and expansion ofsanitary sewer lines, water lines, and related utility improvements in and serving the area, andrecreational features including soccer fields, lockers, stands, restrooms, and a concession building inand serving the area.

    Infrastructure improvements will be constructed with the assistance of the RedevelopmentCommission. The Redevelopment Commission and the Nappanee Common Council areresponsible for approving all requests and appropriate agreements setting forth the terms andconditions pertaining to improvements in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District.

    Without the establishment of these additional economic development areas within theNappanee Consolidated TIF District and the assistance of the Commission, it is unlikely that any ofthese local public improvements would have been accomplished. The construction anddevelopment of these local public improvements will also set the stage for new growth andredevelopment within these additional economic development areas in the Nappanee ConsolidatedTIF District.

    Acquisition of Property

    In order to accomplish the Project, the Redevelopment Commission does not currently planto acquire any interests in any real property. However, the Redevelopment Commission mayacquire by gift or purchase interests in real property from the Nappanee Common Council. TIFfunds may be used to reimburse other govemmental units for local public improvements, includingland, rightof-way acquisitions or related expenses; road and bridge improvements; storm, sanitarysewer, water tower, and water line installations; soccer fields and other recreational features; andother related improvements.

    wl to the

    All contracts for material or labor in the accomplishment of the Project shall be let underapplicable statutes.

    In the planning and rezoning of real properly acquired or to be used in the accomplishmentof the Plan; the opening, closing, relocation, and improvement of public ways and bridges; and theconstruction, relocation, and improvement of sewers and utility services; the RedevelopmentCommission shall proceed in the same manner as private owners of the property. TheRedevelopment Commission may negotiate with the proper offrcers and agencies of the County andmunicipal offices to secure the proper orders, approvals, and consents.

    Any construction work required in connection with the Project may be carried out by theappropriate municipal or County department or agency or by the Redevelopment Commission if all

    7

  • plans, specifications, and drawings are approved by the appropriate department or agency and thestatutory procedures for letting of the contracts are followed by the Redevelopment Commission.

    The Redevelopment Commission may pay any charges or assessments made on account oforders, approvals, consents, and construction work with respect to the Project or may agree to paythese assessments in installments as provided by statute in the case of private o\ners.

    None of the real property acquired for the Projects may be set aside and dedicated for publicways, sewer, or other public purposes until the Redevelopment Commission has obtained theconsents and approval of the department or agency under whose jurisdiction the property will beplaced.

    Financing of the Proiect

    It is the intention of the Redevelopment Commission to finance the Projects withincremental ad valorem property taxes allocated under IC 36-7-14-39 and any other assistanceprovided by the City of Nappanee, lndiana. All expenses reasonably incurred in connection withthe Projects will be financed in such manner with expenses generally consisting of the following:

    (1) The total cost of all land, right-of-way, ffid other property to be acquired anddeveloped.

    (2) The total cost of all infrastructure improvements;(3) All reasonable and necessary architectural, engineering, legal, accounting,

    advertising and supervisory expenses related to the acquisition and development ofthe Projects.

    In addition to the above, the Redevelopment Commission may enter into commitmentagreements, leases, and interlocal agreements with other public agencies and private developers forthe purpose of setting forth procedures and conditions relating to financing, developing, andconstructing the Project. The Nappanee Consolidated TIF District recognizes theinterconnectedness between these core manufacturing and commercial business districts of the Cityof Nappanee and allows the Redevelopment Commission greater flexibility in the financing anddevelopment of these areas.

    of the Plan

    By following the procedures specified lnIC 36-7-14-11.5, the Redevelopment Commissionmay amend this Plan for the additional land in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District. However,if the amendment involves the enlargement of a boundary of the Nappanee Consolidated TIFDistrict, such an enlargement must be approved by the Nappanee Common Council.

    FACTUAL REPORT IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS CONTAINED INRESOLUTION NO. 2OI5-OI OF THE CITY OF NAPPANEE

    REDEVELOPMENT COMMIS SION

    1. The Plan for the additional land in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District willpromote significant opportunities for the gainful employment of citizens of Nappanee as follows:

    With the number of commercial and manufacturing vacant parcels of land included in theamended Nappanee Consolidated TIF District, as well as the preservation and improvement ofexisting commercial and industrial areas, there may be an estimated seven hundred fifty (750)permanent manufacturing and commercial related jobs created, as well as some permanentprofessional office jobs being created. Nappanee has historically maintained a strong employmentbase. A significant portion of Nappanee's manufacturing employment base, however, is sensitive toeconomic cycles. It is important to encourage diversification in the employment base. TheNappanee Consolidated TIF District should greatly assist the City of Nappanee in its efforts toimprove infrastructure to allow for the location and expansion of diverse manufacturing andcommercial businesses.

    2. The Plan will attract major new business enterprises to Nappanee as follows:The amended Nappanee Consolidated TIF District will provide the infrastructure and other

    improvements which ae needed to allract and maintain manufacturing and commercialestablishments within the Economic Development Area, as well as throughout the Nappanee area.

    3. The planning, replanning, development, and redevelopment of the additionalEconomic Development Areas in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District will benefit the publichealth, safety, morals and welfare; increase the economic well-being of Locke and UnionTownships, the City ofNappanee, Elkhart County, and the State of Indiana; and serve to protect andincrease property values in Locke and Union Townships, the City ofNappanee, Elkhart County, andthe State of Indiana as follows:

    (a) The economic well-being of Locke and Union Townships, Nappanee, ElkhartCounty, and the State of Indiana would be enhanced with the completion_9f the Planas manufacturing and commercial positions would be created and maintainedthereby enhancing employment opportunities in Nappanee.

    (b) The extension of sanitary sewer and water lines, the construction of a water tower,and the construction of roads and the acquisition and improvement of right-of-waywill increase property values thereby attracting new development which willincrease the employment, as well as the tax base, for Locke and Union Townships,Nappanee, Elkhart County, and the State of Indiana.

    The establishment and construction of soccer fields, lockers, stands, restrooms, aconcession building and other recreational features will enhance the area and serveas an attraction forjobs and talent to the area.

    9

    (c)

  • (d) The installation of lighting, signage, drainage improvements, traffic signals, andother public improvements will enhance development options for the area.

    4. The Plan for the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District, as amended, cannot beachieved by regulatory processes or by the ordinary operation ofprivate enterprise because ofthelack of infrastructure improvements. Nappanee has no funding sources readily available for theconstruction of sanitary se\iler and water improvements, public right-of-way improvements, andrecreational features to these areas within Nappanee. ln order for quality commercial and industrialdevelopment to occur in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District, as amended, infrastructure mustbe provided which in tum ensures employment and new job opportunities will develop. New jobopportunities can be accomplished by constructing infrastructure improvements which are fnancedin part by state and local funds and in part by incremental ad valorem property taxes. Such afinancing arrangement allows for infrastructure to be installed up front with future tax revenuestargeted to offset costs not covered by other funds. Such a financing mechanism also allowsNappanee to proceed with infrastructure improvements which normally could not be installedbecause of economic, jurisdiction, and/or legal constraints.

    5. The accomplishment of the Plan for the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District, asamended, will be of public utility and benefit as measured by:

    (1) The attraction of new permanent jobs in the commercial and manufacturing sectors;(2) An increase in the property tax base as well as increased revenues from the CAGIT

    and EDIT payroll taxes;

    (3) Improved divers of the economic base.The improvements made in the Nappanee Consolidated TIF District, as amended, will

    enable diverse manufacturing, oflce, and retail enterprises to locate within the TIF District in atimely and planned fashion; improvements will also attract a number of businesses that would nototherwise locate in the area.
