The National Trust Community Investment Corporation (NTCIC), an organization that supports the country’s architectural heritage, community development, and renewable energy initiatives through the provision of Federal and State Historic Preservation, Low-Income Housing, Renewable Energy, and New Markets Tax Credits, provided critical capital sources for Electric Works. This includes $35.7 million in federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) equity and $12.5 million in New Markets Tax Credit Allocation; this represents NTCIC’s largest Historic Tax Credit investment in NTCIC history.

The development team behind Electric Works announced today that it has closed on $286 million in project financing. Officials say they will now invest more than $200 million alone over the next 24 months to redevelop the historic former General Electric campus.
Weigand Construction has already begun mobilizing for the massive redevelopment project that will ultimately create and support approximately 2,000 construction-related jobs. The project – first introduced back in 2017 when RTM Ventures acquired the property from General Electric – will play a pivotal and critical role in helping the local and regional economy recover and regain its momentum.

The Allen County Board of Commissioners is closing out 2020 by making good on its financial commitment to the Electric Works project.
Commissioners wired the $3.5 million promised to the project’s developers just before the Christmas holiday. The county’s investment is in addition to the $1 million provided in the fall of 2018 so that remediation work could begin at the former General Electric campus site.
As early supporters of Electric Works, the Board of Commissioners is excited to see the project begin in earnest in 2021. “This project will have a sizable economic impact during construction and will help lead us to our fifth straight year of $1 billion in construction projects in Allen County,” the commissioners said in a joint statement. “We are glad to see business retention and expansion taking place, in addition to the new companies and jobs coming to our community.”
The first phase of Electric Works includes more than 700,000 square feet of space and offers office, innovation, education, healthcare, retail, entertainment, and community uses to create new opportunities for inclusive economic growth. The ultimate vision is for a well-conceptualized, mixed-use district of innovation, culture and community that is seamlessly integrated with other downtown development projects currently underway.

Electric Works has selected a nationally renowned leader in the flexible space industry to bring a unique and immersive coworking experience to the Electric Works Innovation Center.

Drawing inspiration from the country’s most successful urban markets, the Electric Works food hall and public market will be a mission-driven, actively managed and curated facility that will feature independent small businesses selling a range of foods and beverages – with a focus on products grown, produced and developed in northeast Indiana.
To ensure the food hall and public market remains focused on its mission and community impact, we’ve created the Electric Works Public Market Trust, a nonprofit entity that will provide a range of educational, fundraising and oversight functions in conjunction with the market management team.
Helping the market create a dynamic and inclusive space for employees, customers and the public
Supporting the farmers and food producers of northeast Indiana
Enhancing community wellness
Providing access to healthy foods
Leading community engagement efforts on behalf of the public market
Implementing education programs and partnerships
The Public Market Trust will be governed by a board of directors that will be as diverse and inclusive as the community it serves. It will include members selected by the Allen County Commissioners, Mayor of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne City Council and RTM Ventures. Those board members will then select others representing key programmatic or philanthropic partners for a total board membership of up to 13.
As you can see, there’s going to be much more to the Electric Works food hall and public market experience and impact beyond vendors and products. And the Public Market Trust will play a critical role in ensuring that impact stretches far beyond the parameters of the market itself.

These include:
