Summary
Sharon Tucker said Monday she was selected as a founding mayor of Right to Start’s America the Entrepreneurial campaign and paired the announcement with a city proclamation marking Aug. 3 as America the Entrepreneurial Day.
Right to Start’s campaign aims to help local leaders make it easier to start and grow businesses as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, a goal Tucker called critical to Fort Wayne’s future.
Fort Wayne tied the push to existing local support through the SEED district, a 7-square-mile quasi-governmental partnership that the city says has helped more than 60 small businesses.
The announcement at The Compound — a business that grew from a 2019 food truck into a Wallace Street storefront — underscored the city’s message that entrepreneurs create jobs, strengthen neighborhoods and revive commercial corridors.
