Officials in northeast Indiana are planning to announce a milestone in the Regional Cities Initiative. Members of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership will hold a press conference Tuesday in Fort Wayne to announce Regional Cities funding. 

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry, members of the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority Board and representatives of Great Lakes Capital will also be on hand for the announcement. The press conference is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Last month, the RDA approved a funding request for $2.8 million for the Skyline Tower project in downtown Fort Wayne. The request was still awaiting approval from the Indiana Economic Development Corp. If approved, it would be the first project to receive funding from the Regional Cities Initiative.
