RESOLUTION NO. 2020-R9
A PRELIMINARY DECLARATORY RESOLUTION DESIGNATING AN ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA AND APPROVING TAX ABATEMENT
WHEREAS, State law (I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-1 et seq.) has granted to the Common Council of the City of Scottsburg, Indiana (the “Council”) the right and opportunity to abate the payment of tax on real property improvements located in an area declared by the Council to be an Economic Revitalization Area (“ERA”); and
WHEREAS, KDG Properties, LLC (hereafter referred to as “KDG”) has applied to the Council to declare the real estate described in Exhibit A attached hereto, an ERA; and
WHEREAS, KDG has also filed a Statement of Benefits Real Property (SB-1 RP) describing and seeking tax abatement on proposed rehabilitated structures to be located within the area described in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, KDG plans to rehabilitate the apartment buildings and the apartment buildings will contain at least twenty percent (20%) of the units available for use by low and moderate income individuals; and
WHEREAS, the improvement of the apartment complex and Real Estate would be to the benefit and welfare of all citizens and taxpayers of the City; and
WHEREAS, KDG’s Statement of Benefits have been reviewed by the Council, and the Council now finds as follows:

  1. The estimate of the value of the redevelopment or rehabilitation is reasonable for projects of that nature.
  2. Any other benefits about which information was requested are benefits that can be reasonably expected to result from the proposed described redevelopment or rehabilitation.
  3. The totality of benefits is sufficient to justify the deduction.
    WHEREAS, the Council desires to grant the requested tax abatement to support approximately Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00) in rehabilitation to the structures located within the area described in Exhibit “A” by March 15, 2021 to increase affordable and quality housing, to encourage development in an area undesirable for normal development, to expand the property tax base, and to revitalize the City of Scottsburg, Indiana.
