FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Business leaders have launched Fort Wayne Next, a campaign to boost development downtown.
The goal is to unite citizens, businesses, and leaders to transform the city into a top nationwide hub.
Leaders expect to attract nearly $3 billion in investments over 10 years, spread across five projects, including a soccer stadium, event center, natatorium, and youth sports complex.
The development aims to connect North River property with areas along High Street, Superior Street, and Wells Street.

ooOOOoooh, ya don’t say…
Well, since we’re makin’ stuff up, why not a regulation Quiddich Pitch, just off 4th?
Or, could you even wrap your head around the revenue generated from a Hunger Games Complex, between Harrison and Clinton? I know, right!
Better yet!
The outlying area of the H.G.C. could host …Yes! Pod Racing!
All these event centres are really going to enhance downtown Fort Wayne! A lot of people are going to think we’ll have to bring in vendors, in order to satisfy the needs of the masses. All, you all, would be wrong! Fortunately, there’s a lot of suppliers in the area already! Win; Win!
Why … i would be surprised if, in the next decade, we didn’t rename our little town to Fantasia!
And, don’t worry about copywrite infringement. Once these areas are developed, Disney is sure to notice!
