Ivy Tech to take over former Fort Wayne mall

Posted: Updated:
FORT WAYNE -

Ivy Tech Community College will lease a building on the site of the former Southtown Mall site from the city of Fort Wayne and take ownership of the building in nine years.

The Journal Gazette reports Mayor Tom Henry and Ivy Tech Northeast Chancellor Jerrilee Mosier announced an agreement Friday for the school to take control of the facility in 2013. The city uses the building to house its police and fire training academies. Ivy Tech already had been renting 15,000 square feet in the 132,000-square-foot building for classes.

The move will save the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintaining and operating the building. Under the agreement, the city's police and fire departments will pay $380,000 annually to rent 38,000 square feet at the facility.
