My apologies &#8211; I&#8217;m only a one man show!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is almost as daunting. \u00c2\u00a0The Redevelopment Commission meets at 3 pm. \u00c2\u00a0There are four items on the agenda:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Resolution 2011-01<\/strong> &#8211; Ratifying and approving Change Order #1 to a contract with Key Concrete for the Wayne &amp; Barr Streetscape project<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution 2011-02<\/strong> &#8211; Approving a contract for professional legal services with Carson Boxberger<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harrison Square Discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution 2011-03<\/strong> Approving a Supplemental Agreement with Hardball Capital, LLC, Fort Wayne Professional Baseball, LLC and Barry Real Estate Companies, Inc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mayor Tom Henry alluded to the financial part of the deal that has been struck for the new residential\/commercial development in his State of the City address:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It has been tough to be patient as the economic downturn and tight credit market kept the last piece of Harrison Square on hold. But much like the courage and tenacity that it took to realize the new hotel, today it is my good fortune to announce the financing package for The Harrison is nearly complete.<\/p>\n<p>Several Financial institutions have now stepped up for our city. With PNC in the lead, along with Tower Bank, Three Rivers Federal Credit Union and others &#8211; the residential and retail component of Harrison Square will soon come to life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the Redevelopment Commission meeting, the first Legacy Fort Wayne Task Force meeting starts at 5 pm in the City Council Chambers at the City-County Building and is scheduled to run 1 and a half hours. <\/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='9269636db532c163b61d1ef7d40816dc' 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.
