Kevin (staff member) introduced the recommendation and noted the project team was selected following the city’s RFP/RFQ process. Rob read the resolution, which references the city’s prior BOT authorization and states the city will enter an installment purchase agreement and participation agreement to acquire the completed project; the resolution authorizes the mayor to negotiate, finalize and execute the transaction documents.

Catherine Fanello, outside counsel with Dinsmore, and Annika Senikin of Baker Tilly provided financial context. Senikin said the city will solicit term sheets from banks and select the best offer; Baker Tilly anticipates an interest-only payment period of about three to five years followed by a balloon payment. Catherine Fanello said the resolution and transaction documents include blanks that will be filled with final financing terms but that the framework will not substantively change.

Council discussion noted multiple potential funding sources: general fund, redevelopment commission reserves, Polk Township unit reserves and LEAP revenues. Officials said financing specifics will be set after solicitation of bank term sheets and final counsel review; construction is expected to take roughly one to two years once underway.

The council held a public hearing before the vote. Sam Kornick, District Vice President of the Boone County Professional Firefighters Association Local 5195, spoke in support: “Supporting public safety is essential for maintaining order, protecting lives, and ensuring the community's overall well-being,” Kornick said. Steve Hayes, president of Boone County Professional Firefighters Local 5195 and a battalion chief in Zionsville, also addressed the council in support of the project.

A motion to adopt Resolution 2025-05 passed by voice vote. The resolution directs the mayor and clerk-treasurer to take actions to close the financing and acquire the project in accordance with the transaction documents and the city’s legal advice.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lebanon, Indiana City Council Meeting 3/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lebanon City Council adopted Resolution 2025-05 to award a public-private build–operate–transfer (BOT) agreement to GM Development Companies and partners for a new Fire Station 13, authorizing project costs not to exceed $9.5 million and directing the mayor to finalize transaction documents following bank financing.","taxTitle","Lebanon City, Boone County, Indiana","taxId",70536,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6285076,"Council approves 4-year, 50% personal property tax abatement for GXO Logistics",389,474000,863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2575667-fa436a3aaa22d12e8fbf01b1a74e96b6&start=474&end=863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2575667-fa436a3aaa22d12e8fbf01b1a74e96b6/thumbnail_474000.jpg","/articles/6285076/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Council-approves-4-year-50-personal-property-tax-abatement-for-GXO-Logistics","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6285076-cab80e4cdde65e65f82ed5c4ff70e130/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172670&Signature=PSV22T9nf-pXobCZTOsYGxvanoLKNW4Lu3WGnfhJpH4ryit8bF60TvCWJKvaIZHZPCi77QVaO0RWISiMMoLt0rCSNVkU2fNhN8a54E~XAhSkuJLb79POKYwMNxVgpkhFg1nw6DKbpTLFmEDohMDmqVgW2LGPM0kLEV~oGnuJBGgwFUAEnORBPkUBtZG~8GrNOJbjYMvHQO0ospKDk9HkgxO4iD3EqWtqVxnzPmB7ZUceftAx6xJBA3KeSStnJyQC951d7k899rl3MT1u-QfiW0MKdn5KX-WPXTK5c7F6qmgja2g7x-sBMrboET89dNMIRXHeFDjwHG3n9pNZG1V5-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council voted to approve Resolution 2025-04, granting GXO Logistics Supply Chain Inc. a four-year, 50% personal property tax abatement for new equipment tied to an expansion project in Lebanon.

Jessica Schwartz of the Boone Economic Development Corporation presented the request and said the proposed investment—equipment such as conveyors, racking and automation software—would support growth tied to a potential automated fulfillment contract and add “400 plus new jobs,” with the company currently employing more than 2,200 in the county.

Rob read the council’s resolution language and findings of fact, which reference the company’s Statement of Benefits (SB-1) attached to the resolution. The resolution records an estimated cost for new equipment of $11,720,000 and finds hiring of approximately 415 new employees and aggregate annual salaries of $21,467,784 are reasonably expected results of the project. The resolution confirms the site lies within an established economic revitalization area and authorizes the four-year, 50% personal property deduction under Indiana law.

The council heard no public comment on the resolution, moved to approve, and adopted the measure by voice vote. Council members described the package as a sound return on investment for the city and noted GXO’s local philanthropic participation and workforce programs.

The abatement applies only to personal property tied to the described investment and does not change prior incentives that will expire in 2027, the resolution states. The adoption is effective immediately upon passage.","Lebanon City Council adopted Resolution 2025-04 granting GXO Logistics a four-year, 50% personal property tax abatement to support roughly $11 million in machinery and equipment investment and planned job growth tied to expanded automated fulfillment work.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6285081,"Council OKs up to $5,000 to update environmental review for 312 East Thompson Street",307,89000,396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2575667-fa436a3aaa22d12e8fbf01b1a74e96b6&start=89&end=396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2575667-fa436a3aaa22d12e8fbf01b1a74e96b6/thumbnail_89000.jpg","/articles/6285081/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Council-OKs-up-to-5000-to-update-environmental-review-for-312-East-Thompson-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6285081-d2e345e4c2cf34ad8263e4658ee8efcc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172670&Signature=H87kMMbJ~SY1Xsp6p6~t3Y9zXf3RiBkTwDiNZ8d97mqxyvLLtuyCSlOCSDdTVd~DNu-S1UvyYnAWYqcxfHa5fEgckN~JOS2NjfYQbqukfI-oWlVBKitNga-NVmtUHhicSMszQ8SsdhbfSIEb0d~FOBgccwdb7m7Rmjf5mEiph7y4VQUDAFdgsk2u5zHYadvBZlhtDFOKM5lmqbJBTBm23wMEalDmmXvrXmFriI~6wSTPmoYSHj~bJ6cd8HiN1bZETMo3AagR4EIJI5knxoo2d1ta1MCK84Xfrt-Dry8Ycf43oxbVad7OlqJ9VMDctct0u0XVaEiNiNPGybzwmg~R9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon City Council voted to appropriate up to $5,000 from the city’s food and beverage fund to update a Phase I environmental assessment and apply for a site status letter for 312 East Thompson Street.

Derek Warren, a city staff member who presented the item, said the city acquired the former electrochemical/tube forming property next to Adnor Longley Park and wants to clear the site for future park use. “I’m here to ask for money…we are gonna clean it up,” Warren said during the March 10 meeting.

Warren told the council a Phase I and Phase II environmental review were performed in 2020 under an EPA Brownfields grant, and the city has already spent about $45,000 on testing. He said Phase II work discovered a buried fuel oil tank that was removed as part of the earlier work and that the Phase I update will allow the city to apply for a site status letter from IDEM confirming no further agency action is required.

Warren estimated the Phase I update and site-status application will cost roughly $3,900 and requested a $5,000 appropriation not to exceed that amount to cover project meetings and filings. The council moved and seconded a motion to approve the appropriation, and the motion passed with members voting in favor.

The approval authorizes staff to complete the Phase I update and seek the site status letter; council members said the work will help expand park footprint and remove an eyesore adjacent to Adnor Longley Park. The city will solicit demolition quotes after the status letter is in hand, Warren said.","Lebanon City Council approved an appropriation not to exceed $5,000 from the food and beverage fund to update a Phase I environmental assessment and apply for a site status letter for 312 East Thompson Street, a property the city recently took ownership of that adjoins Adnor Longley Park.","actionData","errors"]
