New Building Will Be Next to Brookside

 After 39 years in their current location, the FEC office sold its building and will be moving to a new location in 2017 adjacent to Brookside Church. Although discussions about moving started years ago, it wasn’t until recently that God put everything into motion.

After Parkview’s main hospital moved from central Fort Wayne, the neighborhood was severely impacted by falling property values, making the building harder to sell. Unfortunately, the ability to purchase new land was contingent on selling the current property. So when a buyer showed interest in the building, the timing seemed right to buy Brookside’s property, located on the corner of Maplecrest and Evard. The building was sold and FEC is able to occupy it until the completion of their new building.

The new location has considerable advantages, providing more accessibility and convenience for staff and visitors. Rocky Rocholl, FEC President says, “The way the infrastructure has grown in the city, it’s easier to find off of the highway and get to the office.” If everything goes according to plan, the transition to the new building will happen next summer, with the move fully completed by fall.
