City Wins ARCH Award

The City of Fort Wayne was recently recognized with a 2006 ARCH Commendation Award for the redevelopment of the Firestone building at Jefferson Boulevard and Fairfield Avenue. The endangered landmark will be converted into a Starbucks coffee shop.

ARCH recognized the City for its commitment to downtown and for utilizing an existing structure. The project was nominated and approved by the full board of ARCH and the West Central neighborhood.
