FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – Bill Brown decided to step down from his position as President of the Fort Wayne Downtown Economic Improvement District.

He says he wants to spend more time with his family and also to pursue other personal projects.

The board will immediately search for Brown’s replacement.  He will continue his role as President through July to allow for an easy transition.
