Liberty of Indiana Corp., the private company contracted to operate the Fort Wayne State Developmental Center, officially notified the state it will lay off 540 employees through June 30 when the state closes the center. ....... The state turned over the developmental center operation to Liberty in January 2006 for an 18-month period, so the layoffs do not come as a surprise to employees.
