Most Significant Increase in Water and Public Events Areas

There is a significant increase in the Public Events category going to the Fort Worth Convention Center Expansion (FWCC) project, which increased by $150 million in the recent CIP. The Water category also increased going to existing projects. On the other hand, Aviation decreases due to projects nearing completion, including Joint Reseal & Pavement Repair Phase 3.

Over $500 Million Programmed For Convention Center Expansion

The City of Fort Worth has three notable line items valued at over $100 million. The largest line item is the FWCC Expansion and Project Management, under the Public Events category, worth $606 million. This project provides more functional space, reduces overall maintenance/operating costs, and keeps the FWCC facilities competitive in the venue/entertaining market. In addition, the two line items belong to the Water category: the Wastewater Treatment Plants Bucket and Wastewater Collectors Bucket, worth $325 million and $267 million, respectively.
