City issues request for proposals for riverfront study<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(February 12, 2013) – Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry today was joined by Legacy Fort Wayne leaders to discuss the request for proposals (RFP) for a Riverfront Development Study for the City of Fort Wayne. <\/p>\n

This will be the first comprehensive look at the City’s rivers to determine opportunities to enhance the riverfront.<\/p>\n

The RFP was issued today, and the City is seeking proposals from qualified consultants and consultant teams. Proposals are due on April 12. Interviews with finalists will occur in May. A final selection is expected to be made this summer. It’s anticipated the study will take 9-18 months to complete.<\/p>\n

Areas of focus will include land use; engineering and infrastructure investment; watershed issues; trail connectivity; access to the river; urban design guidelines; retail; entertainment; and housing.<\/p>\n

“This is going to be a tremendous year for the Legacy initiative,” said Mayor Henry. “The riverfront study is a great first step as we will begin to see transformational change in our community.” <\/p>\n

The Riverfront Development Study is the first project to be funded by Legacy Fort Wayne dollars and is intended to provide the road map to a world class investment. The entire RFP can be viewed at www.legacyfortwayne.org.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
