FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Work began Tuesday on a project to improve sidewalks in Fort Wayne neighborhoods.
Funding for the project comes from a 0.13 percent raise in the local income tax, which will provide $8.7 million in funding per year. Tax revenue will also go toward future phases of riverfront development.
