The City of Fort Worth is on the move with its first infrastructure construction project under the Small-Scale Infrastructure Program (SSIP), which the Development Services unveiled, entering historic territory by offering turnkey development services. The City of Fort Worth reported the groundbreaking event took place at Hughes House Community Center in City Council District 5, spotlighting the installation of five pedestrian lights, anticipated to brighten the community within a few months.
Not just a mere blade of grass breaking beneath the ceremonial shovel, the event held last Friday was a signifier of deeper roots - a commitment to fostering growth within the community by bridging the gap between design and construction. The intention is clear: to streamline the journey from blueprint to build. Citygoers can expect right-turn lanes, roadway improvements, and amenities alike to sprout from SSIP's initiatives, according to the City of Fort Worth. Plans, eager to surface, will also delve into essential utilities such as water and sewer systems.
SSIP services have been made accessible to developers and the public at large, who can now request projects through the online permitting system Accela or by visiting the new face of civic engagement at City Hall in person. More information on how to get involved and the program can be found on the City's official website.
