Plan-it Allen!, the first-ever, joint land use and development plan for Allen County and Fort Wayne, is being presented to several governing bodies in February and March.  The preliminary adoption process timeline has been revised to include a new Allen County Plan Commission date.

Revised provisional timeline:

Mar. 20: Fort Wayne City Council discussion

Mar. 21: Allen County Plan Commission public hearing and possible recommendation

Mar. 27: Fort Wayne City Council possible approval

Mar. 30: Allen County Commissioners discussion and possible approval

During the February 26 meeting of the Fort Wayne Plan Commission, the plan received the group'€™s unanimous certification to the Fort Wayne City Council for action.

Once the plan is approved by City Council and County Commissioners; Monroeville, Huntertown, Grabill, and Woodburn can consider adopting the plan.

The plan will serve as the official policy document for addressing issues related to growth and development in Allen County and Fort Wayne.

Plan-it Allen! has been shaped by community involvement and examined areas such as economic development, transportation, housing and neighborhoods, and community identity to name a few. Allen County and Fort Wayne launched the Plan-it Allen! process in 2003. This is the first time in over 20 years that both County and City plans have been updated.
