Cincinnati’s Model Group has already invested $3.2 million into Ft. Wayne’s historic business district, known as The Landing. Since the pandemic, businesses in that area along West Columbia Street have been struggling. Recently, the Allen County-Fort-Wayne Development trust acquired the properties on that street and will work to create a mixed-use site that will hopefully keep locals in business.
