Case Study: City of Detroit brings Historic Fort Wayne online with The Work Department

City of Detroit brings Historic Fort Wayne’s 30 historic buildings online with The Work Department

The City of Detroit faced a challenge in promoting the revitalization of Historic Fort Wayne and providing detailed information to residents and potential partners, constrained by the limitations of its main website. To address this, they partnered with The Work Department for the design and development of a dedicated website.

The Work Department built the site on Squarespace, creating a distinct but brand-aligned online hub that is easy for city staff to manage. The solution made the fort's history and future opportunities accessible, directly supporting visitor engagement, community planning, and a long-term leasing program for historic building rehabilitation. This ensures Historic Fort Wayne remains a vital part of Detroit's landscape for future generations.
