These strengths include a 501(c)3 neighborhood association (FGNHNA), the historic importance of the neighborhood in the development of Fort Worth, high percentage of homeownership (58 7% in 1999), good work ethics, concerned citizens, and availability of community resources such as schools, churches, parks, and community centers Moreover,. Far Greater Northside's proximity to major employment centers -downtown, Alliance Corridor and the thriving commercial development in the Stockyards and North Main Corridor -provide an enormous opportunity for local economic development.
