Commissioner critic

Allen County Commissioner Linda Bloom made her feelings about Harrison Square known when talking with the Evansville Courier & Press in a story that ran Sunday.

While most of the story focused on the expansion of Memorial Coliseum – with the possible expansion of Roberts Stadium in Evansville – the story did mention Fort Wayne’s downtown development at the end.

Bloom told the newspaper that city leaders billed the project as a way to bring young professionals back to Fort Wayne, but she doubted the possibility.

“Would my children move back? No.” Bloom was quoted as saying. “Build it, and they will come? I don’t think so.”
