FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – About 150 residents attended the Southeast Strategy Update Open House Thursday evening and contributed ideas for future improvements in the area. The event was held at McMillen Park Community Center, 3901 Abbott St.
In 2020, local leaders, residents, and an advisory committee began working with the City of Fort Wayne’s Community Development Division to develop the Southeast Strategy, focused on revitalizing the quadrant.
The City released the following:
It was formally adopted in 2021 as part of the All In Allen comprehensive plan. Since then, more than $2.086B in public and private investments have been made in the southeast quadrant, in areas such as parks, roads, businesses, and housing. (This includes $2B for the Google Data Center.) The plan is now being updated to reflect current conditions and future projects and initiatives.
“We’re happy to see so many people offering their ideas for potential projects and initiatives in southeast Fort Wayne,” said Jonathan Leist, Community Development director. “Community input is essential to updating the plan and ensuring it reflects what residents want to see in their neighborhoods.”
