The 39-acre former General Electric campus, vacant in recent years, is poised for a major rebirth. Employing 10,000 persons at its height, the GE facility was a manufacturing powerhouse for nearly a century. The Fort Wayne Electric Works West Campus redevelopment (The West Campus) embraces that history and once more delivers valuable economic activity, jobs, and high-profile visibility to Fort Wayne and the northeast Indiana region.

The 15.5-acre West Campus will house an innovation district which will include new office space, a large fresh food market, local-serving retail, business incubator, educational and university-led uses, and public event space. It will create a vibrant and re-energized community, while connecting to its adjacent neighborhoods and Fort Wayne’s central business district to the north. The Project taps into and builds on the region’s promising economic regeneration, including its advanced manufacturing, communications and defense, and financial services sectors.
