The plans for the revitilization of downtown Fort Wayne has generated quite a buzz and has quikcly turned into a heated debate. The plans for the new development include:
* A new hotel with at least 300 rooms -- $48 million
* 60 new residential condominium units -- $12 million, with future phases anticipated to provide an additional 120 units
* 30,000 square feet of new street level retail -- $6 million, with future phases anticipated to provide an additional 60,000 square feet * A new minor league baseball stadium -- $30 million (IPFW officials have expressed an interest in the current Memorial Stadium serving as the home for IPFW sporting and community events) * A 900 space parking garage -- $10 million
Graham Richard had this to say about the project.
“We are leveraging existing assets such as the Grand Wayne Center and Library to continue our progress of establishing catalyst projects for downtown.” “Planning and public input have led us to this opportunity. We look forward to building a better downtown and community.”
