Full Strength Fort Worth Revitalization Strategy

As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Fort Worth must be able to compete at full strength on an international stage for businesses, resources, and top talent.

However, Fort Worth can't operate at its full potential while parts of the community remain on the sidelines. Several of the city's neigborhoods have been negatively impacted by years of historic disinvestment and economic disparity, creating opportunities of unrealized potential throughout the city. Addressing these critical issues is essential to Fort Worth's long-term success because all of our city's residents should have the opportunity to participate in, and benefit from, Fort Worth's growing economic success.

The ultimate goal of Full-Strength Fort Worth's holistic approach is to create equitable economic vitality and resiliency, while empowering the community and preserving each area's quality of place.
