Fort Worth's June 9 council session authorized one of its largest single-meeting capital commitments of the year, directing notice for a $104M certificate of obligation for street and infrastructure improvements, awarding more than $58M in road construction contracts, and filing a $55M state water supply grant application — all alongside a citywide zoning reform that opens every commercial district to multifamily and mixed-use residential development.
Developer: Ordinance No. 28597-06-2026 (ZC-26-057) implementing Texas LGC Chapter 218 is the highest-impact development decision from this meeting: multifamily and mixed-use residential are now permitted as-of-right in all commercial zoning districts and several form-based and overlay zones citywide.
Journalist: Chris Jamieson was simultaneously appointed to five separate boards at this meeting — Housing Finance Corporation, two TIF districts including as chair of the Texas Motor Speedway TIF, multiple city-benefiting nonprofits, and the FW Sports Authority — concentrating significant appointed authority in a single individual in one council action.
Resident: Active road construction is coming to the McCart Avenue/McPherson Boulevard and Bonds Ranch Road corridors under contracts totaling $57.7M approved at this meeting, while a citywide zoning amendment now permits multifamily housing in all commercial zones across Fort Worth.
Contractor: Fort Worth awarded over $58M in road construction contracts and more than $16M in water and sewer construction work at this meeting, with the $104M certificate of obligation notice signaling a substantial future procurement pipeline for street and infrastructure improvements.
