Today Fort Wayne will find out if we are among this year's All-America City Award winners. Earlier this week delegations headed to Tampa, Florida, where the winners will be announced today.
The National Civic League holds the competition every year. The organizations describes the awards as the "Oscars" for civic engagement and community problem solving. The honor is given to ten winners each year for outstanding civic accomplishments. This year’s finalists have created jobs, revitalized their downtowns, and reduced crime, among other accomplishments.
The 2009 finalists include three Indiana cities: Fort Wayne, Richmond and South Bend.
