The money will come from the city’s Legacy Fund, which is designed to invest “in projects that have a collective impact that leads to transformative change within the community.” The total project cost for The Fairfield Fort Wayne is more than $10 million.
Michelle Chambers, a Fort Wayne City Councilwoman and sponsor of the resolution, described Fairfield Fort Wayne as a unique complex that “meets and exceeds” the requirements for using the funds.
Councilwoman Rohli Booker and Councilman Paul Ensley voted against the resolution.
The Fairfield Fort Wayne, a three-story building at 1501 Fairfield Avenue, will feature duckpin bowling, golf simulators and event space.

The first floor of the building will house Pinhouse Social, a full-fledged restaurant and bar with a dedicated area for duckpin bowling, a retro version of the sport using smaller pins and balls.
At Urban Golf on the second floor, customers have access to a fully stocked bar, a complete pro shop with golf accessories and eight golf simulator stations.
The third floor will house an event space, The Fairfield Wedding & Events, which will include a fully equipped catering kitchen, full bar and bridal suite.
