April 5, 2016 -- Riverfront Fort Wayne is kicking off a new Riverfront Education Series with a panel discussion about river water quality on April 12 at 6:30 p.m. The discussion takes place at Calhoun Soups Salads & Spirits (CS3), 1915 South Calhoun St., and the event is free and open to the public.

The guest panelists include Frank Suarez, City Utilities; Dr. Robert Gillespie, IPFW Biology Department; Matt Jones, Allen County Partnership for Water Quality; and Dan Wire, Tri-State Watershed Alliance.

Riverfront Fort Wayne hosts regular programs and events as part of a three-part effort to build support for revitalizing the downtown riverfront. Programming, maintenance and development are all part of the City’s and its partners’ plans to create a downtown riverfront that is a regional destination and source of pride for all of northeast Indiana.
