The City Council of Fort Worth has taken a firm stance on the future of the city by adopting a new resolution. On Tuesday, the Council gave the green light to a strategic plan featuring five key priorities intended to steer the city's growth and development for the coming years.
Fort Worth's City Council members convened earlier this year to outline this strategy, which now includes economic development, community investment, community safety, infrastructure, and responsible growth, all of which, are now formally ratified. This step not only serves as a formal commitment by the Council but is also a call to action for various City departments to align their daily operations with these strategic objectives.
This resolution is not just a statement of intent but a directive for City departments to follow through with real tangible actions. These entities need to move in unison, concentrating on the necessities and expectations laid out by the Council. The public has also been called upon to have a say in shaping how funds will be allocated by contributing to the planning of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget, ranking these strategic goals in order of importance.
According to the City of Fort Worth, these newly adopted Strategic Priorities and Goals are set to be a major influence on the City's 2050 Comprehensive Plan, essentially a roadmap for Fort Worth's expansion and development over the next few decades. The FWLab, the City department tasked with budget planning and data analysis throughout the year, is now gearing up to undertake this comprehensive planning project. They've begun the process by inviting residents to provide their thoughts and feedback via online platforms.
