Council ratifies development agreement for Dairy Belle, laundromat on Indianapolis Boulevard
Summary
The council unanimously ratified a development agreement with Midwest Prairie Builders LLC for a Dairy Belle, laundromat and a 1,200-square-foot commercial building at 1719'1733 Indianapolis Boulevard (Robertsdale); the agreement accompanies a proposed 10-year traditional tax abatement.
The Common Council ratified Resolution 26-R-10, accepting the development agreement among the City of Hammond, the Hammond Redevelopment Commission, and Midwest Prairie Builders LLC for property at 1719'1733 Indianapolis Boulevard. Council members described the project as a Dairy Belle with drive-through, a laundromat and a small commercial building on a long-vacant parcel in Robertsdale.
Council discussion noted the package would include a traditional 10-year tax abatement as the incentive; one councilmember said they expected to limit future 10-year abatements to extraordinary developments. The resolution passed on roll call, 9-0.
