Electric Works:
General Electric at one point in history was one of the largest employers in Fort Wayne employing more than 20,000 people. It downsized to less than 100 employees before it closed in 2015. Now a developer, along with the city, is heading up a project called Electric Works to bring the GE campus back to life. Its vision is to develop an "Innovation, culture, and community that is seamlessly integrated with other downtown development projects currently underway." Please visit the website by clicking on the link below to find out more about the project.

Riverfront Development:
"Riverfront Fort Wayne is an initiative that envisions a revitalized downtown riverfront area." Northeast Indiana has a rich history with its three rivers - St. Mary's, St. Joseph, and Maumee rivers- beginning in 1697 when the French built a fort in the area. The city is revisiting this heritage along with developing activities around the three rivers. To learn more about the development projects, click on the link below.
