A Defining Moment for Fort Worth's Future: 2026 Bond Program Luncheon Recap

On April 30, the Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth welcomed members and community leaders for a timely and impactful luncheon focused on the City of Fort Worth’s 2026 Bond Program.

At a pivotal moment for our rapidly growing city, this event provided a unique opportunity to hear directly from the leaders shaping Fort Worth’s future.

We were honored to host Mayor Mattie Parker, who shared a comprehensive overview of the bond program’s key components, including strategic investments in infrastructure, economic development, and quality-of-life enhancements. Her remarks offered valuable insight into how these initiatives will support Fort Worth’s continued growth and long-term success.

Following the mayor’s presentation, Brian Newby, Chair of Together Fort Worth and REC of GFW Chairman Travis Clegg provided perspective on the broader community effort behind the bond program and why this bond program matters deeply to the commercial real estate industry and to the overall prosperity and competitiveness of our region.

This luncheon reflected what makes Fort Worth special: strong leadership, engaged stakeholders, and a shared commitment to building a better future.

Following the election, we want to extend our sincere thanks to the Fort Worth community for participating in this important process. Voter engagement plays a critical role in shaping the trajectory of our city, and this bond program represents a meaningful step forward in addressing the needs of a growing population.

We are grateful to everyone who took the time to stay informed, show up, and make their voice heard.

As Fort Worth continues to evolve, the Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth remains committed to serving as a resource, a convener, and a voice for thoughtful growth and development across our region.
