area an area within its corporate boundaries, which area the

described as Exhibit A.

employment of the citizens of the City;
b) Benefits the public health, safety, morals and welfare of
the citizens of the City;
c) Increases the economic well-being of the City and the
State of Indiana; and
d) Serves to Firotect and increase property values in the City and the State of Indiana.

ordinary operation of private enterprise without resort to the powers
allowed the Commission under IC 36-7-14 because of.
a) The lack of local public road and sewer improvements;
b) Existence of conditions that lower the value of the land
below nearby land; and
4) The Commission finds that the public health and welfare will be
benefited by the accomplishment of the Plan for the Area.

Plan will not exceed $1,000,000.00.

Development Area will be displaced by any project resulting from
the Plan; and, therefore, the Commission finds that it does not
need to give consideration to transitional and permanent provisions
for adequate housing iifor the residents. If the Commission
determines that it is necessary to displace any residents of the
Economic Development Area, it will amend the Plan and this
Resolution prior to arit displacement and give consideration to
transitional and permanent provisions for adequate housing for the
