NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Carmel Redevelopment Commission, governing body of the City of Carmel Redevelopment District, as follows: 1. The 2022 Amendments promote significant opportunities for the gainful employment of the citizens of the City of Carmel, Indiana (the "City"), attraction of major new business enterprises to the City, retention and expansion of significant business enterprises existing in the boundaries of the City, and meets other purposes of Sections 2.5, 41 and 43 of the Act, including without limitation benefiting public health, safety and welfare, increasing the economic well being of the City and the State of Indiana (the "State"), and serving to protect and increase property values in the City and the State. 2. The 2022 Plan Supplement for the Allocation Area cannot be achieved by regulatory processes or by the ordinary operation of private enterprise without resort to the powers allowed under Sections 2.5, 41 and 43 of the Act because of lack of local public improvements and other similar conditions. 3. The public health and welfare will be benefited by accomplishment of the 2022 Amendments. 4. It will be of public utility and benefit to amend the Declaratory Resolution and the Plan for the Economic Development Area as provided in the 2022 Amendments and to continue to develop the Economic Development Area, including the Allocation Area, as under the Act. 5. The accomplishment of the 2022 Plan Supplement for the Allocation Area will be a public utility and benefit as measured by the attraction or retention of permanent jobs, an increase in the property tax base, improved diversity of the economic base and other similar public benefits. 6.
