JD Granger and the Trinity River Vision
OK I must admit that I am a Dallas fan..but after seeing what is happening in downtown Fort Worth, I think I want to move.
This past Tuesday JD Granger, Executive Director of TRV gave a very detailed vision plan of the new development in downtown Fort Worth along the Trinity River. JD and his team have done the impossible; pulling together various state, federal and local governments to agree on and fund a massive redevelopment north of downtown.
His group is SO GOOD that they actually are building an ISLAND in downtown Fort Worth. This is not a joke. A giant island in the middle of the Trinity river with stores, shops, housing, a baseball field, etc…800 acre ISLAND…Now that is impressive.
JD is a great speaker and the beauty of what he and his team are creating will dramatically alter the perception of Fort Worth. Not only is this project funded, but tax payers are being spared a huge increase because most of the money already existing in federal and state coffers. And are you ready for the best part…no new taxes!
While the project is 10 years from completion, they have all necessary approvals and already have over $500 million in development from private parties received. This is a real project and ready to go.
The TRV is creating a model for other cities to follow…is anyone in Dallas listening? I guess not. As for me…I am contacting my Realtor and buying a lake house in downtown Fort Worth.
