Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker Discusses $845 Million Bond Election and ISD Takeover
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker is addressing several key issues facing the city, including an $845 million bond election, a proposed data center, and the state takeover of the Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD). The bond election, which includes six propositions for improvements in areas such as streets, parks, and public safety, is set against a backdrop of discussions on property tax relief and spending control by local governments. Mayor Parker emphasized the importance of the bond for enhancing the quality of life in Fort Worth. Additionally, a proposed data center by Black Mountain Energy has been approved by the zoning commission, with the city council expected to review it in June. The state takeover of Fort Worth ISD follows a prolonged period of underperformance, with a new Board of Managers and superintendent appointed to improve district-wide performance.
