Project near airport passes amid objection
Resident appeals to planners; concession from developer made
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
A resident dismayed that industrial development is chipping away at a rural agricultural area near Fort Wayne International Airport made an impassioned plea Thursday during a meeting of the Allen County Plan Commission – and won a concession from the developer.
Resident Kimberly Elam spoke out against a plan from HBC Development Corp., Fort Wayne, to rezone 63.15 acres at the northwest corner of Smith and Dalman roads in Wayne Township from single-family residential to general industrial for the construction of industrial shell buildings.
