Northeast Indiana Now: August 14, 2025

The Fort Wayne City Council passes a proposed utility rate increase Tuesday night with a split vote.

The passing rate on Indiana's third grade reading exam rebounded this year to the highest it's been since before the pandemic.

The regional grid that serves Indiana needs more reliable energy, fast because of data centers, manufacturing plants, and electric vehicles.

Brianna Datta-Barrow is a Fort Wayne native and a graduate of Purdue University Fort Wayne, where she studied communication and media production. She also serves as a multimedia production specialist at the Center for Collaborative Media at Purdue Fort Wayne. Brianna co-hosts "Collaborative Corner: Fort Wayne Stories," a podcast dedicated to connecting listeners with the stories and culture of Northeast Indiana.
