Allen County, Indiana

Allen County is proud to be a part of these placemaking initiatives that improve the life of our residents as well as appeal to families and companies looking to relocate.

To spread some sweetness and luck, Allen County Human Resources organized a St. Patrick’s Day Candy Gram exchange between county employees. The initiative was a great way to build comradery while also kicking off the county’s fund drive for the United Way of Allen County. The Clerk’s office purchased the most gold (chocolate) coins of any other department and won a St. Patty’s Day Party. Thanks to all who contributed – over $250.00 was raised for a great cause.

Allen County is proud to receive a Bronze Workplace Partner Award from the Women’s Fund Of Greater Fort Wayne, an initiative of the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne. The awards, presented annually, measure leadership representation, pay equity, supportive benefits, and fair hiring practices. Allen County values employing highly qualified candidates and recognizes the capabilities and contributions of women in the workplace.

From Indiana Department of Transportation Northeast: Watch for construction to begin on the Quadrant Roadway at the intersection of S.R. 930 and Maplecrest Road. Most of the construction will be happening off the roadway, but drivers can expect some minor impacts. This project will affect travel for City of New Haven Indiana residents and those on the east side of City of Fort Wayne - use caution through this busy intersection, especially during construction.
