    1. This is such an exciting project for Fort Wayne. It’s helping the city really establish itself as a place to invest in Indiana that isn’t in the Indianapolis region. I hope Fort Wayne continues to grow.

    2. As a former CEO of a purchasing cooperative here in Indiana, I can tell you that Do It Best is a gold standard organization. I have dealt with their leadership in the past and always found them to be professional and on the leading edge of what they do for their members. Kudos to the team at Do It Best and congratulations to Fort Wayne for having this organization raise the bar in your community.

    3. Im a resident of Indys north suburbs and im always exciting to hear of anything positive around Indiana. With Fort Wayne being the second largest city in Indiana, this is a win win for the entire state to attract more talent to our state. It gives people options of where they think they might want to live in Indiana. Great job
