Fort Wayne is doing something different. 🏙️

While most cities compete for resources, we’re showing up to the national stage with a unified front — entrepreneurs, workforce trainers, housing innovators, and economic developers all pulling in the same direction.

At the IEDC 2026 Leadership Summit in Washington D.C., that’s exactly what we brought to the room. A living example of what happens when collaboration replaces competition — when the people training the next generation of business owners and the people building market-ready housing solutions are standing at the same podium, telling the same story.

That’s Team Fort Wayne. 🤝

Fort Wayne isn’t waiting for someone else to solve the housing and workforce gap. We’re building the model. 🔨

Grateful for the co-presenters, the platform, and a city that’s ready to lead.

Honored to speak at the National Land Bank Summit with of , one of Detroit’s best architects.

We shared insights from the Innovative Housing Showcase in Fort Wayne—real lessons learned and real solutions that can be scaled nationwide.

Grateful to connect with leaders from across the country who are tackling the housing crisis head-on. Fort Wayne shows what’s possible when collaboration and innovation lead the way. The more we come together, the stronger we become.

Thank you for showing up, pushing forward, and believing in what we’re building together.

And a special shoutout to our very own J—happy birthday!
