October 27, 2015 - Statement from Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry on the passage of the 2016 City of Fort Wayne budget.
“The balanced budget presented by my office and passed by City Council tonight continues our commitment to providing needed services to residents, neighborhoods, and businesses. The budget also reflects Fort Wayne’s position as a leader in economic development, job growth, strong neighborhoods, and quality of life amenities that make our community a destination place for families and businesses. We’ve been encouraged by the positive feedback we’ve received from the public about our budget that will fund 33 new firefighters, $22.8 million for neighborhood infrastructure improvements, and $3 million for investments in maintenance projects in City Parks.”
