FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA21) - The company behind the Electric Works project at the former General Electric campus said it will announce its new anchor tenant at a news conference on Feb. 13.

The event follows the January disclosure that such a tenant had been identified and committed to the project. It prompted RTM Ventures to seek a deadline extension to allow for the process to be finalized before public funding was withdrawn.

Mayor Tom Henry last week said he supported extending that deadline. With board approval, it would be the second such extension in recent months.

Earlier in January, Henry said he was aware that a major tenant had been secured for the $230 million mixed-use redevelopment effort, and said it was interested in using up to 200,000 square feet for its headquarters.

The news conference is set to happen at 2:30 p.m. at Building 26 on the West Campus of the former G.E. property. Local, state and regional leaders are expected to attend.
