Warsaw City Council will review a request tonight from Martin's Supermarkets to approve the Menard's subdivision area as an economic development area.

Martin's Supermarket will be located along Husky Trail, Warsaw, and the residential subdivision that has not yet been built will be located behind the supermarket.

The council will meet at 7 p.m. at city hall.

Martin's Supermarkets is requesting Warsaw designate two lots of the subdivision as an economic development target area.

By designating the property as an economic development target area, the city would then permit Martin's to file a tax abatement on real property improvements.

Along with the resolution, Martin's will submit a statement of benefits for estimated real property improvements.

Martin's is estimating creating approximately 180 full- and part-time jobs and approximately $8.4 million in real property improvements.

The supermarket development will provide additional improvements, including work on Mariner Drive, that will benefit the area economically, according to City Planner Jeremy Skinner.
