The Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance started operations in October, 2000, as the lead economic development organization for Fort Wayne and the communities throughout Allen County. The Economic Development Alliance is a not-for-profit, private corporation serving as a fee-for-service contractor to the City of Fort Wayne, Allen County, the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce and, since 2001, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority. The Economic Development Alliance exists to position Fort Wayne and Allen County as the preferred Midwestern U.S. community in which base employers may locate or expand.
