A Vision for 2025 and Beyond
The FWADG Board conducted a highly productive planning retreat, establishing clear strategic direction for 2025. Working collaboratively, the board developed comprehensive action plans aligned with their theme “Discover the Worth in Fort Worth Avenue: A Vision for 2025 and Beyond.” The session benefited from expert input from Deborah Carpenter of District 6’s City Plan and Zoning Commission, who provided essential context regarding PD 714.
