The City of Fort Wayne is making progress in redeveloping an historic group of downtown buildings.
Mayor Tom Henry announced Tuesday the city has worked with the Downtown Development Trust and other organizations to buy seven buildings and two parking lots in the Columbia Street area, called “The Landing.”
Henry says the acquisitions will allow the city to attract a developer.
The ultimate aim is to create mixed-use residential and commercial spaces, which will help Fort Wayne meet what he calls “the high-demand for downtown housing.”
