Council approves rezoning for Electric Works' second phase
DEVAN FILCHAK | The Journal Gazette
The Fort Wayne City Council gave preliminary approval Tuesday to rezoning for the second phase of Electric Works.
The 2.6-acre area that was discussed for rezoning would make the entire 5.2-acre Electric Works campus zoned as an urban corridor. The area is currently a hodgepodge of zonings: two-family residential, multiple residential or intensive industrial.
The second phase is a $107 million mixed-use project that is primarily on the north side of the former General Electric campus that is undergoing rehabilitation on the west side of Broadway. Geoff Paddock, D-5th, said this rezoning is separate from the approval for the $280 million Electric Works project near the end of 2020. The new investment is a private investment.
