April 9, 2020 - Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry and the Allen County Commissioners are asking area residents to take part in the All In Allen comprehensive planning process by taking an online questionnaire.

Input from residents is critical to the work to update the community’s comprehensive plan, which is a blueprint to guide land use, housing, transportation, parks and more for Fort Wayne and Allen County. Anyone who lives or works in Allen County is invited to visit AllInAllen.org and take a survey asking opinions on important community issues. Answers will help shape the All in Allen plan, which will help guide leaders to make decisions and policies that impact the region for years to come.
