  • The Trinity River Project Is Transforming the Identity of Fort Worth Into a Bustling, Waterfront City
    The Trinity River Project is transforming the identity of Fort Worth into a bustling, waterfront city. first ever civil works project to win the “Good Neighbor Award” for sustainability from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Trinity River Vision Authority (TRVA) is the organization responsible for the implementation of the Trinity River Vision (TRV) – a master plan for the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. The seeds of this vision are now taking shape before the eyes of the city. While the primary purpose of the project is to provide needed flood protection, it will double the size of the most livable central business district in the nation. The Vision also provides for the creation of new recreational amenities, improved infrastructure, unique public spaces and responsible environmental enhancements. The components TRVA oversees include the creation of Panther Island, a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, urban waterfront district adjacent to downtown Fort Worth, the expansion of Gateway Park into one of the largest urban-programmed parks in the nation and the enhancement of the river corridor including over 90 user- requested projects along the Trinity Trails. In addition to this, to help attract businesses and entertainment to the district, TRVA is responsible for programming the project’s public spaces, including Panther Island Pavilion, a waterfront event venue directly adjacent to downtown Fort Worth hosting concerts, festivals, runs and other exciting events. Panther Island, the most well-known component of the Trinity River Vision, has triggered a rebirth of the district north of Flowing canals will be the heart downtown Fort Worth into an urban waterfront community.

    1 Profile Texas Wesleyan University: Located in Fort Worth, Texas, Texas Wesleyan University was founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1890. A committee under the direction of Bishop Joseph S. Key explored locations for a campus and settled on a site east of Fort Worth donated by area pioneers, A.S. Hall, W.D. Hall, and George Tandy. Originally called Polytechnic College, which has the literal meaning “many arts and sciences,” the school held its first classes in September 1891, with a handful of faculty members and 111 students. In 1902, H.A. Boaz assumed the presidency and managed a period of moderate growth. He conceived the idea of a new university for Southern Methodism and planned to develop Polytechnic College into that university. Since 1934, Texas Wesleyan has remained a co-educational liberal arts institution with an increasingly comprehensive academic and student life program. In addition to strong undergraduate programs, the University added graduate programs in education in the 1970s and in nurse anesthesia in the 1980s.

R. Powell & Associates, P.C. Jason Smith Fort Worth Dog Park Association Randy Sorensen Jacobs Carter Burgess Joy Webster XTO Energy, Inc. Much of Downtown’s recent growth has been office construction, hotels, new residential development and the adaptive reuse of office buildings for residential use. These expanding residential, office and visitor populations have created a greater need for usable green and open space Downtown. The desire to have a place for respite and recreation in the center city dates back to the beginning of Fort Worth. In 1892, the City Park Garden, which straddled the Clear Fork of the Trinity River roughly between today’s West Seventh Street and Lancaster bridges, provided such a place. Rotary Park - developed by the Rotary Club in 1916, on the southeast corner of West Seventh and Summit Avenue - included a small bath house and Rotary Club headquarters.
