FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The public is invited to share their vision for Fort Wayne’s downtown riverfront at two public input meetings.
Both meetings will take place at the main branch of the Allen County Public Library in the auditorium. The meetings are set for:
* Wednesday, March 12 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., with a presentation at 5:45 p.m.
* Thursday, March 13 from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., with a presentation at 11:15 a.m.
In November 2013, the City contracted with SWA Group to conduct the Riverfront Study, which is the first comprehensive look at enhancing the use of our City’s rivers; it is intended to provide the road map to a world class investment.
“Public input is critical to the success of our riverfront study,” said Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry. “This is everyone’s riverfront and the final designs need to reflect the hopes and dreams of our entire community.”
During the public input meetings, SWA Group will provide an overview of the data collected and preliminary development concepts. The consulting team will then listen to citizens’ vision for the downtown riverfront; the team will use this input to create designs and implementation strategies.
