<br />- <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I' <br /> <br />Beyond tbe 104 acres we have requested to be zoned Heavy Industrial) <br />PPG has no problem witb the City utilizing the Planned Unit <br />Development concept for the remainder of our property. We would <br />propose) however) the land use for the PUD be zoned per the <br />attacbment. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />PPG remains the single largest taxpayer to the City of La Porte. <br />We are a key raw material supplier to major local industry <br />including tbe Du Pont La Porte Plant and AKZO Chemie. Our annual <br />plant payroll is in excess of $4.5 million and our total plant <br />economic impact upon the La Porte area is in excess of $7.0 million. <br />PPG provides high-paying jobs for 130 area residents. In sbort) <br />PPG contributes significantly to the economic standard to which La <br />Porte bas become accustomed. It is PPG's intent to continue to <br />operate and enhance its La Porte facility. However) the plant does <br />have financial return requirements set by PPG which in the long <br />run must be met in order for the plant to remain a viable PPG <br />entity. Being able to respond to business opportunities such <br />as the proposed Japanese venture is essential to meet our <br />corporate financial objectives. We ask that you accept our land <br />use and zoning compromise so PPG-La Porte can continue to be a <br />viable operation. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I: <br /> <br />Ii <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />If you have any questions concerning this) please let me know. We <br />would welcome the opportunity for any such discussion. <br /> <br />-; <br /> <br />u <br /> <br />Sincerely) <br /> <br />M. <br /> <br />E. G.
