From its vibrant festivals and markets to trails that wind through scenic foliage, there’s no better time to experience the charm of Northeast Indiana. But it’s not just the season that’s drawing attention – development and outside investment are reshaping the region.
WHY THE INTEREST KEEPS BUILDING
Major projects are transforming Fort Wayne into a modern hub with a small-town soul. The north bank of the St. Mary’s River is buzzing with growth. Riverfront Development Phases II and III are well underway, along with The Wedge, a mixed-use development that promises a lively blend of homes, dining, and retail. Fort Wayne FC Park, a new stadium nearing completion just off Bass Road, is set to become the heartbeat of local sports when the team takes the field in 2026. And this fall, a revitalized Arts United Center will reopen, anchoring the new Arts Campus Fort Wayne with a $40 million transformation that celebrates culture and creativity. cityoffortwayne.org, fortwaynefc.com
