Letter to Fort Wayne City Utilities

The below letter is a copy of a letter a reader sent to the head of City Utilities Department:
Kumar,
As a citizen of Fort Wayne, I want to thank you for your work as director of city utilities. I would like to express my concern though about the city extending utilities to the Canyon Cliffs development.
I am a land owner and therefore have no objection to the development.
Where I would have objection is if the city were to extend utilities to this location. This not only defies the Plan-It-Allen plan which was agreed to by both city and county officials, but it also is a liability to taxpayers in the region.
By extending city services, we will only encourage more development
along that corridor in a market that is flooded with open leases.
When we build on the fringes in Fort Wayne, we are only moving existing businesses outwards and the taxpayer is obligated for all of the infrastructure.
If Canyon Cliffs wants to establish a development on the county fringes, that is fine. Please do not allow our utilities and storm water situation to extend out though - this is counterproductive to the needs of this region.
Thanks,
Dave

As a enjoyer of nature, I encourage each one of you to take a hike on near Cedar Creek. This may be done via gaining entry onto the Acres’ Properties off Huffman Road. Although it is a bit chilly, there are some great features year round at these sites.
Wow Cedar Canyons is like 8 miles from the Fort? What next are we going to annex Auburn? Why doesn’t the city fix its’ problems first…..
