SAC baseball coaches' reactions
An exciting development
Link: http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/fortwayne/sports/17177896.htm
From the article-
"Excitement, mixed in with a little bit of caution, would be the best way to describe three SAC baseball coaches’ reaction to the possibility of Fort Wayne’s getting a downtown baseball stadium.
On April 24, the City Council approved the much-debated Harrison Square development, which includes a baseball stadium to be used primarily by the Wizards.
There has been talk of justifying the high price tag of the project, especially a new baseball stadium, by making the facility available to other endeavors such as high school football, soccer and concerts. The multipurpose portion of the project should also include high school and amateur baseball, Bishop Luers coach Gary Rogers said."

A 'broad' development
Retail to refresh Broadway corner
Link: http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/business/17177937.htm
From the article-
"Brothers Brian and Tim Straley plan to invest about $1.5 million to construct two multi-tenant buildings at the northeast corner of Broadway and Taylor Street, Brian Straley said. The Straley family has owned the property and operated a used-car lot there for years. The redeveloped corner will fit in with plans to revitalize downtown, he said.
The brothers are selling part of the site to another developer, who plans to build a gas station and convenience store at the intersection, Brian Straley said. He declined to identify the other developer involved in the deal. The combined investment in the multi-tenant buildings and gas station is expected to be $2.3 million to $2.5 million, he said.
No tenants have signed leases for space in the multi-tenant buildings yet, but there is room for six to eight tenants, said David Nugent, a partner in the real estate firm BND Commercial. BND Commercial is the leasing agent for the development, which will be called the Shoppes on Broadway."
