The Indiana Regional Cities Initiative:  A Look Inside

The final region that has submitted an Indiana Regional Cities proposal is the Northeast. The economic core is the city of Fort Wayne, which accounts for one-third of the regional population and nearly one-half of regional jobs.

Fort Wayne is the seventy-sixth largest municipality in the United States and the second largest in Indiana.  This application includes 38 projects to be implemented in the next two years alone, with a total investment of $400 million.  Once the plan, titled "Road to One Million," is entirely implemented, over $1.4 billion in visionary projects will have been invested in improvements, such as:


* A regional trail system and the Fort Wayne Riverfront Development, connecting residents to nature;
* Regional broadband and an array of innovation and entrepreneurship centers, connecting workers to ideas;
* Nine new or expanded arts venues across the region, anchored in unique downtown districts, connected via trails and connecting patrons to culture; and
* $40 million in redevelopment and revitalization of 11 downtowns ($440 million total), connecting citizens to community.
