Fort Worth Is a great city! Friendly and spontaneous, there's always something new! It has the thrill of the big city with the safety and coziness of small hometown. From the Botanical Research Institute of Texas and Botanical Gardens to the #1 zoo in the country, quality experiences are everywhere. The temperature gets high, but luckily, the Water Gardens are public and open in the summer. Another summer highlight? The Stockyards are impossible to miss, a tradition that gathers spectators from over 5 continents yearly. More of a science person? Check out the Perot in downtown DFW, or the Natural History museum. A music lover? How about the Cliburn Nationals or the Ft. Worth Symphony's Summerside concerts? For the theater kids, Bass Hall is a must-see, and for the art enthusiasts... there's The Modern, The Kimbell, The Sid Richardson, The Amon Carter, and more! Fort Worth is a place bursting with creativity, and you'll love it here. You just might not know it yet.
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. My greatest memories are tied up in this city, ranging from trips to the Fort Worth Zoo, the cultural district, Stockyards and botanic gardens. Over the last 10 years, Fort Worth has become more busy with nee homeowners and people looking to make a living in the city. While busy, it’s still easy to find a quiet spot in the city parks or along the Trinity Trails. As a 24 year old female, I have never felt endangered while spending time downtown or in any region of the city. It’s very family friendly and has something for everyone!
I was an intern at development services for the City of Fort Worth. The staff really cares for the residents and makes sure they all feel included within our community. I really appreciate how they are currently in the process of improving their translation services for people who don't speak English. They are also working on making available resources as simple as possible so individuals can easily navigate through processes like obtaining a permit. Throughout my internship, I was mainly assigned to focus on incorporating more equity within zoning. I was instructed to research the topic of redlining, which I was not aware of before my internship experience. This allowed me to acknowledge necessary actions for providing sufficient neighborhoods for all communities. The Development Services department within the City of Fort Worth city does an extremely responsible job of delivering the highest quality of attention to their residents.
