This award recognizes an early-career professional in the field of urban and regional planning who has demonstrated exceptional innovation and dedication in shaping sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking communities.<\/p>\n<p>Terronez holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Ball State University and joined the City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Neighborhoods team in 2023. His work includes leading the previously awarded Historic Northeast 2035 Neighborhood Plan, along with East Central Forward, Northwest 2035 and Waynedale 2040. A short bio and photo <a href=\"https:\/\/in-fortwayne.civicplus.com\/directory.aspx?eid=190\" target=\"_blank\">can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Packard 2030 Neighborhood Plan earned the Outstanding Implementation award, which recognizes a project that demonstrates a significant achievement in accomplishing positive changes as a result of planning. One award judge noted, &#8220;This is an impressive data-based implementation of a neighborhood plan, a high example for Indiana.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Packard 2030 Neighborhood Plan is a ten-year shared vision for the Packard Area&#8217;s neighborhoods and business corridors, working to enhance quality of life. The recent redevelopment of Packard Park, led by Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation, is one of the successes resulting from the neighborhood plan. Other projects have included significant investment in lighting and sidewalks, crosswalks and neighborhood signage.
