Opportunity to hear directly from those investing in Fort Wayne

Mayor Tom Henry will have the first in a series of breakfasts with owners of local businesses Thursday morning as part of his ongoing commitment to the business community of Fort Wayne.

Henry invited owners of businesses in a variety of sectors to hear the Mayor'€™s ideas for moving Fort Wayne forward while also giving him the opportunity to take questions and get feedback from the owners.

“These people are investing their time and money in Fort Wayne to make their livelihoods while also employing scores of people,” Mayor Henry said. “This series of breakfasts will give me an opportunity, in an informal setting, to hear directly from them about how the City can be more responsive to the needs of the local business community.”

The small-group meetings will be held throughout the year in the Mayor'€™s office at the City-County Building.

Fort Wayne business owners interested in being considered for the Mayor'€™s breakfasts should contact Elissa McGauley, the City'€™s economic development specialist, at 427-1127.
