This is great news. I expect to see similar professional organizations follow suit in the near future.
Unanimous support from the Chamber's Board of Directors is a sign that the local business community believes that this investment is a wise choice for the future of Fort Wayne.
I am puzzled as to why this was apparently not deemed news worthy by either of the local papers. Apparently they did not have enough space with all of their poll data.

Sam,
It will be interesting to see what is deemed newsworthy in the future also.
I am dumbfounded as well as to why this has not been shown in the paper/TV etc. This should be big news in my opinion and would show many citizens in this city that this is not just some crazy idea dreamed up by city officials. It is essential that this type of information be reported to the public.
