Fort Wayne is among the fastest-growing metros in the Great Lakes region.
Why?
Because we offer a high quality of life with big-city amenities, while maintaining an affordable cost of living that empowers our residents to thrive.
We continue to make bold investments in ourselves, and that attracts jobs and private investment–more than $1 billion in downtown Fort Wayne alone since 2009. See what we’ve been up to, and what’s on the horizon, for a community that’s on the rise.
