The planning process for the next phases of Riverfront Fort Wayne is halfway complete and residents are invited to learn about the progress during a public meeting set for Thursday, March 7, 2019.

The meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the North Side High School auditorium, 475 E. State Blvd. Residents should enter through Door #1. Light snacks will be provided.

During the meeting, professionals from DAVID RUBIN Land Collective, the landscape architecture and urban design firm contracted to lead the next phases of planning for Riverfront Fort Wayne, will discuss the following:

• What public input they received from the last meeting and how it is influencing their plans,
• The most recent market analysis conclusions,
• How to organize development along the riverfront, and
• How the character of the riverfront neighborhood might be portrayed.

Residents will again have an opportunity to provide their input during interactive planning exercises following a brief presentation. Their comments and reactions will continue to influence the plans developed by the consulting team.
