Fort Wayne, Ind. – The City of Fort Wayne’s Community Development Division and the Southeast Area Partnership is seeking public input from people who reside in southeast area neighborhoods.

Please join us for public meetings to share your thoughts and ideas for McKinnie Commons located at the corner of South Anthony Boulevard and McKinnie Avenue and Powell Park located at the corner of Pontiac Streetand Weisser Park Avenue.

Residents have two opportunities to participate in community meetings which will be held at the Renaissance Pointe YMCA located at 2323 Bowser Avenue. People interested may attend public input sessions for McKinnie Commons on Wednesday June 23 at 6:30 p.m. and Powell Park at 8:00 p.m. If you are unable to attend in person, an online survey can be found here.

Once the concepts are approved ground breaking could begin by the end of this year.

These are just two projects identified in the Southeast Strategy Update which is a comprehensive sub-area plan focused on reinvesting in Fort Wayne’s southeast quadrant of the City.

This initiative was developed by the City of Fort Wayne’s Community Development Division with the guidance and direction from southeast leaders, the plan provides strategies for investing in commercial and housing growth, building community, and improving the quality of life for southeast residents.
