Also on-site is the $4.5 million Meridian Health Clinic, which opened last fall. Several single-family homes have already been built; a total of 12 are expected on the Village Premier site. Future phases are expected to include for-rent town houses and an early learning childcare center.<\/p>\n<p>Support for Village Premier senior housing comes from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, READI funding from the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Redevelopment Commission tax increment financing, and federal funding from the Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.cityoffortwayne.org\/village-premier\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more information about the Village Premier development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Community Development Division works to establish Fort Wayne as the Community of Choice for residents, visitors and businesses by growing the economy, strengthening neighborhoods and supporting housing options.
