Fort Worth, Texas — As one of the fastest‑growing cities
in the United States, Fort Worth continues advancing major public projects that
strengthen infrastructure, enhance recreational spaces, and support long‑term
economic opportunity. From street and utility upgrades in neighborhoods across
the city to park enhancements and water system investments, Fort Worth is
making strategic improvements that benefit residents, businesses, and visitors
alike.
Streets, Utilities, and Neighborhood Infrastructure
Fort Worth’s list of ongoing capital projects includes neighborhood street
rehabilitation, water and sewer system expansions, and transportation
improvements that support safer, more efficient travel throughout the city.
Projects such as the Worth Heights Infrastructure Improvements bring
upgraded paving, water main replacements, and sewer enhancements to residential
areas like Carter Park and Rosemont — improving core services for families and
local small businesses.
In other parts of the city, Riverside Street
Improvements are underway with combined water, sewer, storm drainage, and
paving work to modernize critical roads and enhance connectivity.
Fort Worth’s comprehensive approach also includes downtown
infrastructure upgrades, where aging water and sewer mains are being
replaced to support growth in the central business district and maintain
essential services for expanding commercial and residential activity.
Park Enhancements and Outdoor Recreation
Parks and recreation projects are forming a major component of Fort Worth’s
community development efforts: improvements are planned or underway at Anderson
Park, Gateway Park athletic fields, Rockwood Park athletic fields,
and Barksdale Dam enhancements, among others. These efforts ensure
outdoor recreation remains accessible, safe, and inviting for residents across
the city.
Meanwhile, planning efforts such as the Aquatic
Master Plan will guide the future of community pools and water facilities,
aligning investment with usage trends and community needs.
Parks, Playgrounds, and Trails
The city’s capital project list also highlights improvements to playgrounds at
multiple neighborhood parks, Lake Worth Trail expansions, and new park
developments such as those at Kingsridge West and Westhaven Park — all
enhancing active living opportunities for families and trail users citywide.
Water Supply and Environmental Resilience
Infrastructure planning extends to critical water and wastewater systems — with
projects focused on pipeline upgrades, sewer replacements, and new facilities
to meet the needs of a growing population. Complementing local efforts, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency recently approved more than $351 million in
funding to upgrade Fort Worth’s wastewater collection and treatment
infrastructure, including beneficial water reuse facilities and recycling
enhancement initiatives.
Why This Matters for Our Residents

touch everyday life:

vibrant, thriving place to live and grow.
