TSWA also wants to provide an opportunity for participants to share ideas that might be outside the 2.5 miles of the St. Mary&#8217;s Rivers targeted by the Legacy Fort Wayne Downtown Riverfront Study.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch, chairs and heated tents will be provided so be sure to RSVP for this great lunchtime presentation today!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"mailto:frank@downtownfortwayne.com?subject=DBC RSVP\">To RSVP, click here<\/span>.<\/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\/hwsb\/122108.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The historic Wells Street Bridge decorated for Christmas.
