Projects hatching downtown
Mayor set to announce update on stadium, hotel
Fort Wayne officials look to be closer to bringing new developments – including a baseball stadium – downtown.
Mayor Graham Richard will make an announcement Thursday morning regarding multiple downtown projects, according to several sources, but the details were not disclosed.
City Councilman Don Schmidt, R-2nd, confirmed that Richard’s office briefed members of the City Council on the announcement. He said it was more of an update to downtown projects as opposed to a contract signing, but he hinted that the news was positive.

The new owners of the Fort Wayne Wizards want to play in a new downtown stadium, or a renovated Memorial Stadium, by the 2008 season.Fort Wayne officials previously said a preliminary agreement between the Wizards and the city on whether a downtown stadium is feasible would be reached by December.
How big is this news?
One city official said the announcement Thursday was important enough that staff on vacation would be returning to the office for the event.
That is big. Tune in on Thursday.
