FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -- An 84-year-old Fort Wayne hotel that's set empty for decades could be returned to life under a plan to transform part of it into a two-story ballroom and a roof-top bar.
Embassy Theatre Foundation officials said in December 2011 they would take a year to talk to donors, stakeholders and others about their plans for the Indiana Hotel.
Executive Director Kelly Updike tells the Journal Gazette (http://bit.ly/12Lyl7o ) the parties hope to have "something significant" to announce by late March.
The former hotel wraps in an L-shape around the Embassy Theatre, which expanded its stage into the old hotel in 1995.
Even with the loss of that space the seven-story hotel still has thousands of square feet of space, but the estimated cost of renovating the hotel is $10 million.
