Topics getting the most attention in Fort Worth public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
NEZ Boundaries and TIF Overlap Review
Mayor Pro Tem Flores asked staff to look at whether Neighborhood Enterprise Zone boundaries should be redrawn citywide — including whether areas that have already successfully developed should be excluded, and whether projects inside TIF districts should be able to get NEZ tax abatements. A Stockyards-area request prompted the review.
Code Officer Courtright Recognition
Code Officer Jeremiah Courtright got a special recognition after helping an elderly District 2 resident who was living without air conditioning, running water, or electricity. He connected her with city assistance programs, checked on her regularly, and even brought food for her cat. She's now back teaching math at a Fort Worth middle school.

The city's partner Kia Energy is building a renewable natural gas facility at the Southeast landfill at no cost to the city, with 30% design expected in January. The deal has already banked about $1.3 million in development fees for future landfill needs.
