Observations Observations . Thank you for your continued support to Amani Family Services. The Board of Directors is pleased to report that 2016 was a memorable year for the organization, highlighted by the changing of our name. Notable achievements include: • Approving a new, long-range strategic plan for 2016-2020 • Updating our mission and vision • Increasing pool of supporters • Launching our first One Beat, a lip-sync battle. Our goal is to impact positively the community and the lives of immigrants and refugees; thanks to these steps we are more prepared than ever to connect with families, resources, supporters, and the entire community. — Tom Trent, Board Chair Buckle up, because 2016 brought some change! In September, we announced the change of our name to Amani Family Services and unveiled our new logo. The response was significantly positive and energized us after the eight-month process. For me, as recently appointed director, it meant overseeing with the board’s help an orchestrated number of activities, from the formation of a wonderful internal/external committee to six respected focus groups to surveying clients, staff, board members, foundation facilitators, and community members. Having met Pastor Saneta Maiko, founder of the former Crime Victim Care of Allen County, it brought me great satisfaction to see our board select a word from the Kiswahili vocabulary to honor the language of the person who started our agency. And I had a personal connection: amani was a word that stuck with me years ago when visiting the Congo (Kinshasa), a war-torn country where amani (meaning peace) was posted by civil organizations and residents as a cry for cease-fire and reconciliation. Peace is the condition we all strive 2016 Board of Directors for, in our homes, our city, and within ourselves. Amani is also defined as aspirations in Arabic and signifies the desires we all have for a better future. For our own families and for those born elsewhere who have chosen Tom Trent, chair Fort Wayne as their new home, amani is both peace and aspirations — the hope for the entire community to Joe Doust, vice chair live and learn side by side, reaping the benefits we bring to each other.

  • Community and Economic Development in the Urban Center
    WHY FORT WAYNE? Community and Economic Development in the Urban Center of Northeast Indiana Electric Works is thoroughly redefining “quality of place” for the city and the region – and beyond. This bold, adaptive reuse of General Electric’s 39-acre, 1.2 million-square-foot campus will be a thoughtful and curated mix of spaces that will once again drive connectivity and innovation. As you’ll see, Electric Works is primed to take advantage of the city’s ongoing and expanding renaissance. More than $426 million in transformative downtown projects is either completed, under construction or under consideration – an indication of confidence in Fort Wayne’s future. 2 | ELECTRIC WORKS fortwayneelectricworks.com CONTENTS The Fort Wayne Market 4 Live Fort Wayne 6 Play Fort Wayne 7 Work Fort Wayne 8 Education & Workforce 12 Economic Development 13 Transformative Projects 14 Transportation 16 Local Business Incentives 18 State Business Incentives 19 fortwayneelectricworks.com ELECTRIC WORKS | 3 THE FORT WAYNE MARKET Fort Wayne is the urban center of Northeast Indiana, a region with a population of nearly 780,000.

The following members were confirmed by city council on June 6: Oscar W. Tresselt, David N. Foster, Joseph M Singmaster, and Ferdinard Meier. Ferdinand Meier was elected president and the board entered upon the discharge of its duties, taking over from the Board of Public Works. The following highlights track the history of the park system since 1863. Year Event 1863 Old Fort Park, first city park, purchased by Mr. Henry Williams and given to city. (Site of Anthony Wayne’s first fort.) 1866 Northside Park acquired to be home of the Indiana State Fair. 1869 Colonel Thomas W. Swinney leased his property to the City. It became known as Swinney Park. 1875 Colonel Swinney died and bequeathed his property to the City as a park with the condition that his family should have the home as long as they lived. 1876 Hayden Park acquired. 1880 Reservoir Park developed when the City reservoir was built. 1886 McCulloch Park given to the City by Mr. Hugh McCulloch. 1893 City leased more land for Swinney Park from Swinney heirs. 1894 Park Department formed under control of the Board of Public Works. 1895 Colonel Foster headed up a committee to investigate formation of a municipal park board.

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5. Also featured this week: Secret Mezzanine, a duo Wednesdays | 5-9pm sprung from Canterbury High School and a homemade ukulele.
