The Local Live took place Thursday, September 12, 2024 at Chapman's Brewing in Electric Works.

On Thursday, September 12, The Local hosted a panel discussion at Chapman’s in Electric Works centering on how downtown Fort Wayne can evolve to improve cycling.

WBOI was there to capture the discussion, and we're pleased to present it here.

The panel is hosted by The Local managing editor Kara Hackett. The Local offers readers highlights around Fort Wayne, curated for easy reading and elevated with insider insights and tips for residents. Kara also contributes a weekly segment previewing events happening in our region every Monday for WBOI's Northeast Indiana Now podcast.

  • Dane Leitch, Broadway Business Owner of Aaron's Fine Rugs on safe, business-friendly streets and citizen advocacy.
