Any day now we expect to learn the decision reached regarding the OmniSource property. Will the City pass up the opportunity to purchase this parcel? Is doing so now the best option?
Considering County Council’s approval today of the Maplecrest Road Adams Center Road Extension, one wonders when the spending spree will end. This could perhaps be the most expensive week for Allen County taxpayers in 2008.
(Hat-tip: Scott Spaulding – Fort Wayne Politics)
"Fort Wayne has a proud heritage and long ago was the destination of choice for early settlers. The city has lost its Sense of Self. We cannot look to Toledo or Dayton, Indianapolis or Providence for who or what we are supposed to be. We must embrace that which makes us unique. Only we can reclaim the title long lost, and once again become the standard-bearer worthy of emulation."
"I utterly reject the belief that the people of Fort Wayne are resistant to change. They simply have not yet seen a vision they can stand behind. Show them the right plan at the right time and the right price and they will proudly support it."
