Statement from Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker on the passage of the 2025 Civil City Budget by the Fort Wayne City Council:
Fort Wayne, Indiana (October 22, 2024) – Fort Wayne is a city that continues to grow and achieve positive results for residents and neighborhoods with fiscal discipline at the forefront.
City Council’s passage of the 2025 civil city budget shows we’re a community on the move with a bright future ahead.
With this being my first budget as mayor, I was impressed with the attention to detail that was demonstrated by the City’s division and department heads. We share a common commitment to protecting taxpayers and meeting the needs of a community that expects and deserves excellent services.
Continued investments in neighborhood infrastructure, parks, and public safety will be top priorities to help make Fort Wayne viable and sustainable as a desirable place for individuals, families, and businesses.
While I’m disappointed by a number of party line votes on certain budget cuts, the 2025 budget is forward thinking and positions Fort Wayne for current and ongoing success.
