We&#8217;re also sending an important signal to businesses everywhere that Fort Wayne and Allen County are a welcoming place for them to be. Today, our collective vision starts to become a reality. Today, my pledge to create a one-stop show for economic growth begins to take form.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the public is always informed about this rapidly moving transition, a webpage, &#8220;Citizens Square &#8211; Move Central,&#8221; has been launched on the City of Fort Wayne website.  It is located at cityoffortwayne.org\/MoveCentral. Here residents will find the latest information about department move dates, maps of the area around the building and floor plans indicating the new location of the offices. This site will be updated daily with information about which offices are in transition and which ones are settled at 200 E. Berry.<\/p>\n<p>With a quick glance, residents will also find move schedules on the calendar of events located on the right side of the front page of the City website at <a href=\"https:\/\/cityoffortwayne.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.cityoffortwayne.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Information will also be posted through digital media on the City&#8217;s Fencepost forum, Facebook page and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Emails and letters are going out from City departments to those businesses and vendors that regularly do business with the City, and, during the months of April and May, residents will find the moving schedule for frequently-visited City departments in their City Utilities bills.<\/p>\n<p>Signage will be placed in the lobby of Citizens Square and at the current City-County Building. These signs will be updated daily to inform residents about offices that have moved.  Additionally, volunteer greeters will be in each building to assist residents and make the moving process go smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have gone to great lengths to plan the move in a way that will keep all City services open and operating throughout. As with any move, there may be a glitch or two as we disconnect and reconnect computers and phones. But I&#8217;m confident that our detailed planning will keep any inconvenience to a minimum,&#8221; said Mayor Henry.  &#8220;If you&#8217;re looking for the most up-to-date information about the process, go online to Move Central or call 311. We&#8217;re committed to making it easy for everyone. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The City&#8217;s move will begin this Saturday April 9, 2011.  Offices traveling this Saturday include Community Liaisons &#8211; Cherise Dixie and Brent Wake, Property Management, Information Technology, Controller, Internal Audit and Risk Management.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Citizens Square, ensures the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective services that increase citizen access and promote operational efficiencies for all residents,&#8221; said Mayor Henry.  &#8220;Moving an enterprise as large and complex as the City is a challenge. We&#8217;ll work hard to minimize hassles for those doing business with the City during the relocation. Communication is essential, and our new technology tools will go a long way toward easing the transition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The City of Fort Wayne will be moving more than 40 departments into the new building.  The move should be complete by the end of May.  Residents with questions about the location of an office are urged to call 311.<\/p>\n<p>The following are the move dates for all departments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Information Technology Office<br \/>\nProperty Management Office<br \/>\nControllers&#8217; Office<br \/>\nInternal Audit Office<br \/>\nCommunity Liaison &#8211; Cherise Dixie<br \/>\nCommunity Liaison &#8211; Brent Wake<br \/>\nRisk Management Office<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 16<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Human Resources Office<br \/>\nPayroll Office<br \/>\nFlood Control Office<br \/>\nPublic Works Project Management Office<br \/>\nRight of Way Department<br \/>\nTraffic Engineering Services Surveyor&#8217;s Office<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Traffic Engineering Office<br \/>\nSolid Waste Department<br \/>\nTrails &amp; Greenways Office<br \/>\nLand Acquisition Office<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Community Development Offices<br \/>\nCommunity Development Department of Planning Offices<br \/>\nCD Redevelopment Offices<br \/>\nCommunity Development Office of Housing &amp; Neighborhood Services (OHNS)<br \/>\nNortheast Indiana Regional Coordinating Council (NIRCC)<br \/>\nCommunity Development Administration<br \/>\nCommunity Development Corporation ( CDC)<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Utilities &#8211; Policy &amp; Planning<br \/>\nCity Utilities &#8211;   Capital Assets<br \/>\nCity Utilities &#8211; Administration<br \/>\nCity Utilities &#8211; Engineering I<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Utilities &#8211; Engineering II<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Utilities &#8211;  Accounting &amp; Finance<br \/>\nCity Utilities &#8211; Development Services (DVS)<br \/>\nGeographic Information Systems (GIS)<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Utilities Customer Service<br \/>\nCity Utilities Customer Relations<br \/>\nCity Purchasing Offices<br \/>\nBoard of Works Offices<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 23<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Law Department Offices<br \/>\nPublic Information Offices (PIO)<br \/>\nMayor&#8217;s Administration<br \/>\nCity 311 Department<br \/>\nMayor Tom Henry<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 25<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Council Chambers<br \/>\nCity Clerk&#8217;s Office &#8211; Sandra Kennedy<\/p><\/blockquote>\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='b217dcfa0537f8e7100705db1d99b92c' 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.
