Fort Wayne, Ind. - Today, Mayor Tom Henry announced a long-awaited 
project is moving forward and will bring more than $14.1 million in 
private investment to the community.

"Our community has recognized for years the need for additional ice 
space to meet the needs of youth and adult hockey leagues, figure 
skaters and recreational skating. I am proud today to announce that this 
project, with its intention to bring a first-class facility Fort Wayne, 
gives us a chance to fill that need for the region," said Mayor Henry.

A local development group, 3 Sheets Development, LLC, submitted plans 
today to develop 22 acres of land on Lima and Wells Streets, across from 
Glenbrook Commons. The first parcel to be developed will be a facility 
with three sheets of ice that the group calls "Spiece on Ice,
 a reference to the successful basketball center located just a mile 
north on Lima, to indicate the sort of regional draw they expect to 
bring to the facility, as hockey leagues from several states will hold 
tournaments and events there.
