March 10, 2020 - City Council tonight approved the last piece of funding to support two Riverfront District developments, The Lofts at Headwaters Park and The Riverfront at Promenade Park, that will bring more housing, retail options, office space, and parking to downtown Fort Wayne.

“I am encouraged to see The Lofts at Headwaters Park and The Riverfront at Promenade Park move forward,” said Mayor Tom Henry. “These projects are crucial to the long-term viability of the Riverfront District because they deliver much-needed public parking in conjunction with high-quality retail, office space and a variety of residential options. Additionally, these developments will stay true to the Riverfront Fort Wayne guiding principle of inclusivity, by ensuring that all residents and visitors can continue to enjoy our riverfront and have access to the restaurants and shops in the area. I want to thank the developer, Barrett & Stokely, for their commitment to these projects and Fort Wayne and extend my appreciation to the members of City Council, Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission and Capital Improvement Board who have supported them.”
