5/5/77 CP-28 Sound Economic Growth
PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: Councilman CITY MANAG 'S REVIEW
Jeff Davis I 11
The recent upswing in the national economy and the potential for continued growth
in this area were recessionary forces were not so strongly felt provides the City
Council with an excellent opportunity to make emphatic its position with regard
to the economic growth of the City of Fort Worth.
In today's complex and highly competitive economy it is to the benefit of the general
velfare of this community to support to the greatest degree possible the orderly,
planned, balanced growth of residential, commercial, and industrial enterprises along
with concurrent public facilities to augment and complement them. Such development
and redevelopment activities should be undertaken to the extent that an increase
in the quality of life accrues to all citizens at the same time that environmental
quality, cultural heritage, and unique physical qualities are maintained.
I believe that this Council should exercise the opportunity to take an aggressive
leadership role in this respect to encourage public and private entities to work
together to expedite physical and economic development in Fort Worth. It is possible,
and highly desirable, for the City to work in conjunction with other public bodies
and private concerns to foster an environment where progressive, orderly, and
sustainable growth will occur.
In addition to this action, I propose that this Council adopt the attached resolution
directing the Economic Development Policy Board to initiate and expedite a soundly
conceived Overall Economic Development Program for consideration by this Council.
