Annual report (1985)

              The City of fort Wayne
I am pleased to present the 1985 Annual Report of the Division of
Community Development and Planning. CD&P is made up of five
departments that are responsible for zoning and code enforcement,
housing rehabilitation, public housing, comprehensive planning,
and the administration of the Community Development Block Grant
Program.
This fact is reflected in the statement of CD&P's primary goal:
"To maintain and improve housing and the quality of life for
people and neighborhoods". In keeping with CD&P's major ob­jective,
the Division had many significant accomplishments in the
year of 1985, ranging from the development of the 1985-1987
Community Development and Housing Plan to the establishment of
the Safe Housing and Building Standards City ordinance.
In 1985, the staff of CD&P was instrumental in meeting and
challenging the needs of the citizens in the City of Fort Wayne.
A great deal of staff time and talent was spent lending a helpful
hand to many concerned individuals and organizations. In
addition, there were hundreds of City neighborhood volunteers who
helped to ensure the success of our programs.
Through the efforts of the Director's Office staff, the Housing
and Neighborhood Development Services staff, the Planning staff,
the Public Housing staff, and the Safe Housing and Building
Standards staff, the Division has made a great deal of progress
towards the advancement of its primary goal. A detailed account­ing
of service and production levels is provided in the text of
this Annual Report.
Sincerely,
Norman A. Abbott, AICP, Director
Community Development and Planning
