Greater Fort Wayne 2018 Book of Lists

From the Editor As much as we love data, we can’t think of many items we enjoy more than lists. This is why each year our staff – primarily our researcher – spends numerous hours researching, compiling and editing our Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly top lists each week. This Book of List is a compilation of nearly all of the lists from 2017. Only a couple lists – such as those dependent upon a stock price at a given time – are not included. Those that are in this book and appeared earlier in the year, are updated and revised as needed so that you receive the most up-to-date list possible. Despite all the data mining, requests for information and calls that are placed to compile these lists, we know that some of the lists, particularly those that are dependent upon organizational feedback, may not be a perfect reflection of reality. However, we can say, based on the responses we received for these lists, the lists include the most current information we were able to obtain. As such, we are always looking for ways to improve the lists we publish each week. Please contact us if you notice a list missing an organization and we will reach out to

Lucretia Cardenas Business Weekly Editor

that company in the New Year. Also, if you have suggestions on how we might improve out lists, such as another source for publicly available data, please let us know. A couple of our lists were perfected in recent years by readers reaching out and alerting us to data sources that allow us not to be reliant on company feedback but rather sort industry information that is less disputable. Also, if there is a particular list that you would be interested in seeing and we don’t already produce, please reach out and let us know what that is. Over the years, as the economy changes, some lists become less relevant to our readers and our goal is to remain as relevant as possible. We look forward to hearing from you and we hope this year’s Book of Lists is insightful, educational and useful.

The party breakdown shows how much went to Democratic and Republican candidates, parties and "leadership PACs." Where party percentages don't add up to 100 percent, the rest went to third parties or independents. The overall total also includes contributions to corporate, labor and ideological PACs that are not affiliated with either party. Totals are based on contribution data from the Federal Election Commission released electronically on February 27, 2017. Ohio Development Services Agency, Office of Research, March 2017.
