CERTAIN AREA OF THE CITY OF JEFFERSONVlLLE, INDIANA
AS AN "ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA"
WHEREAS, on March 15, 1999 by Resolution No. 99-R-9, the Common Council
of the City gave initial approval for the designation of a certain area within the City of
Jeffersonville, Indiana, hereinafter (the "City") as an economic revitalization area
pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-12.1 through I.C. 6-1.1-12.1~12; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Jeffersonville, Indiana
recognizes the need to stimulate growth and to maintain a sound economy within the
City; and
WHEREAS, this area is located within the corporate limits of the City on Utica-
Sellersburg Road just north of its intersection with Indiana State Highway 62. Said area
has, for a number of years, been undesirable for normal development and occupancy
because of the lack of development, cessation of growth, along with other factors which
have impaired values or prevented normal development or use of the property. The
specific land area for which the economic revitalization area designation is sought is
undeveloped land which has been for sale for a number of years; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City recognizes that providing
incentives to local development in underutilized or distressed areas would be in the
City's best interest; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City further recognizes that it would be
beneficial to designate a certain qualified area within the City as an economic
revitalization; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City is vested with the authority to
designate certain areas of the City to be economic revitalization areas;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
