What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The city of Fort Wayne opened the third phase of its 'a LOT to LOVE' program, which encourages builders to construct new housing on vacant, city-owned lots. The program offers discounted lots, grants to cover unexpected site conditions, and access to architectural blueprints. In this phase, 37 project sites are available, and the city will prioritize builders with community experience and participation in the SEED Small-Scale Developer BUILD Program.
