ii MOORESVILLE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISION MINUTES WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2012, 6:00 P. M. t This is the Public Healing for amendment to the Economic Plan and Redevelopment Plan for the Town of Mooresville. Redevelopment members present: Chairman Harold Gutzwiller, George Watkins, Don Stoltz, and Tim Corman. Also present were: Joy Sessing Morgan County Economic Director, Jeff Pipkin assistant, Jason Semler from Umbaugh, Mike Shaver from Wabash Scientific, and Attorney Tim Currens. Chairman Gutzwiller: Procedure and comments for the meeting. There are two different TIF districts. One is in the downtown area to address sewer issue in 1993 and the other one in 1993 to promote economic development south of Town, both are essentially the same, Blight is no longer in the area. This plan expands both areas by including several properties; the Haught property, the Village Shopping Center, and it also ment6ions a specific unit of government by working closely with the School Corporation. This plan also talks about fiber and gateways to the Town. The primary gateway at State Road 67 and secondary is Samuel Moore, Indianapolis Road and Bridge Street, etc., signage, specific lighting, investing in community in skill levels for workforce development. The plan does not include raising taxes in any shape or form, does not participate in eminent domain and the commission has no authority in assessments in the industrial area. The assessed value is frozen at that time when the area is brought in to the TIF area, Only monies captured after that would be any improvements added to the assessed value. Ivy Tech is mentioned coming to the community. This process began in February 2011 when Ivy Tech came to Mooresville and looked at a number of properties. Southbridge came to the forefront because of the amount of parking spaces. Just the Ace Hardware part of the building could not be purchased by itself, but had to have an offer to purchase the entire shopping center. The building needs refurbished and equipment purchased. A memorandum of understanding has been entered into with Ivy Tech. The commission believes Ivy Tech has a public benefit to the community and to Morgan County. Public input and rules: Please give due respect and do not boo the speakers. Please give name and address and respect the time of everyone in the room. Don't go over comments already made. Jeff Scalf: 535 St. Rd 267 stated this doesn't mean the commission won't use eminent domain. This is a great injustice on neighbors and friends. One Town Council member voted opposed to the Plan amendment and that was Virginia Perry. Hoosier Energy supplies REMC electric to Southbridge and south of Mooresville. Randy Haymaker, Harold Gutzwiller, and Jefl'Quyle all work for Hoosier Energy, Hoosier Energy is in
