The mission of Business on Broadway, Inc. is to support the interests of business and property owners on Broadway and to provide a professional forum for promotion, education, and networking among its businesses. One of their goals is to encourage active participation by local business people and organizations and citizens in all things related to Broadway corridor business and professional development. Six of the businesses along Broadway applied for and improved their facades through the City of Fort Wayne’s façade program.

Indiana Main Street Program Manager Shae Kmicikewycz stated, “We are honored to have Business on Broadway, Inc. as part of the Indiana Main Street family. They know and understand the importance of a thriving downtown and have community members willing to assist in the revitalization efforts of their downtown.”
