Jefferson Blvd.<\/p>\n<p>The report, \u201cPreservation is About the Future: The Economic Impact of Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism in Fort Wayne,\u201d was presented by Donovan Rypkema of PlaceEconomics, an internationally recognized firm that provides analysis of the economic impacts of historic preservation. The event was part of the Indiana State Historic Preservation Conference, \u201cPreserving Historic Places,\u201d taking place September 30 &#8211; October 3 in Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>Key findings of the study include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Since 2001, investments in local historic tax credit rehabilitation projects reached $340 million and supported 258 jobs annually.<\/li>\n<li>In 2024, heritage visitors spent more than $313 million in Fort Wayne, supporting approximately 3,000 year-round jobs.<\/li>\n<li>In 2024, the average home value in local historic districts was 13 percent higher than the rest of the city.<\/li>\n<li>Housing in historic districts have a range of types and costs, making them accessible to households of all incomes. For example, 61 percent of households in local districts earn less than the city\u2019s median income.<\/li>\n<li>Even excluding the banner year of 2024 with the Electric Works project, over the last 15 years an average of 139 direct jobs and an additional 90 indirect and induced jobs were created by investment in Fort Wayne\u2019s historic districts. If historic rehabilitation were a single business, it would be among the largest 50 industries in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cFort Wayne\u2019s commitment to historic preservation has fostered job creation, tax revenue and investment while also supporting diverse, affordable housing options in walkable, high-density neighborhoods,\u201d said Rypkema. \u201cFort Wayne\u2019s heritage tourism destinations add to the quality of life for residents and boost the local economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism study was made possible by funding from the City of Fort Wayne, the Efroymson Family Fund, the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center and Visit Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>The full study can be found at https:\/\/engage.cityoffortwayne.org\/economic-impacts-historic-preservation-heritage-tourism-study or visit https:\/\/Engage.CityofFortWayne.org and search for historic preservation study.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Community Development Division works to enhance economic opportunity, build strong neighborhoods and ensure a dynamic framework for growth and development.<br \/>\nVisit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoffortwayne.in.gov\/186\/Community-Development\" target=\"_blank\">CityofFortWayne.in.gov\/CD<\/a> for more information<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full Report: <a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/docs\/City_of_Fort_Wayne\/Community_Development\/2025\/2025_09_10_The_Economic_Impact_of_Historic_Preservation_and_Heritage_Tourism_in_Fort_Wayne.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The Economic Impact of Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism in Fort Wayne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/docs\/City_of_Fort_Wayne\/Community_Development\/2025\/2025_09_10_Historic_Preservation_and_Heritage_Tourism_Key_Findings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Key Findings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.cityoffortwayne.org\/economic-impacts-historic-preservation-heritage-tourism-study\" target=\"_blank\">Engage Fort Wayne webpage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='c594cde63c9bdcc9b82d7fc3dea4168b' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
