Overview

The Town of Ossian has worked closely with Biggs, Inc., for a proposed Single-Family Development on the north side of Ossian along State Road 1. The proposed development calls for 161 Lots to be constructed, accommodating 113 Single-Family homes and 48 Single-Family Villa homes. According to the 2020 US Census, the Town of Ossian had 3,266 residents with an average median household income of $52,500. The Town of Ossian is well situated approximately 9 miles south of the Fort Wayne International Airport and the significant number of industrial/warehousing investments that are taking place on the south side of Fort Wayne. Ossian provides nearby access to housing accommodating both growth in the southern Allen County area as well as job growth occurring in Ossian & Wells County. To accommodate the proposed development, READI funds will be used for a new lift station, water, sewer, and road access will need to be completed. The Town of Ossian has also asked Biggs, Inc., to increase the size of the water & sewer lines in Phase 1 of the development to accommodate future development to the north of the proposed Biggs, Inc., development. This increase of water and sewer lines, lift station upsized and increased depth, will allow for sustainable growth of the community at a lower cost for future development. Additionally, the Town of Ossian is working to address the need to provide septic elimination for an area north of town. The project will run from 3/1/23 to 12/31/24.
