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.

    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.
