BartholEmu is the official mascot of Emu Solutions.
A hardware and software company based at Innovation Park at Notre Dame is seeking incentives to establish a headquarters at Ignition Park, the city's state-certified tech park south of downtown.
Emu Solutions is asking that the city commit $500,000 in airport tax increment finance funds for the purchase of two servers to be leased back to the company for a nominal fee over three years, through 2017.
In exchange, Emu would pledge to create 25 new jobs with wages ranging from $20 to $70 per hour for technical staff, $20 to $75 per hour for managerial staff and $15 to $30 per hour for administrative staff.
