International Harvester Tower
International Park is one of Fort Wayne's oldest and best-known landmarks. The old International Harvester complex is now over 80 years old and thriving. But the future wasn’t always as bright as it is today. Like many Rust Belt cities in the early 1980s, Fort Wayne, Indiana was overly dependent on manufacturing firms which were rapidly severing old ties and moving south and west. Then, in 1982, International Harvester, the largest employer in the area, announced that it was closing its truck assembly operation and moving it to Springfield, Ohio. Thousands in the area were suddenly left without jobs. To most observers things looked bleak for Fort Wayne and the huge plant complex. |
