Quality of place is an important element of economic development. When community members take pride in the area in which they live, the area benefits both economically and aesthetically. One city in our region, Fort Wayne, is asking for community input on their Gateway Plan, a plan to enhance the entranceways to the city.
The Gateway Plan focuses on the “economics of the first impression.” When someone first drives into your city, what image do you want to project? Fort Wayne is looking for help in designing something that promotes the city’s primary entranceways as well as the downtown area.
The City of Fort Wayne is hosting an open house on Monday, October 17 to offer the community an opportunity to review design solutions and give feedback. The open house runs from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Auer Center (300 East Main Street).
See the attached flier for more information.
