Which development?

Some economic news...

From the FWBP article

NGC Transmission picks Fort Worth as North American HQ
October 9, 2014
A. Lee Graham
Reporter


Fort Worth will serve as the North American headquarters for NGC Transmission, just one of several announcements made when a Fort Worth-Dallas delegation visited Beijing and Shanghai this month.
“The meetings and initiatives we discussed with our global partners in China and Japan far exceeded our expectations,” said Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price in a news release.

About 150 employees already have been confirmed to work at NGC Renewables LLC's turbine transmission equipment plant in north Fort Worth.

NGC Renewables LLC, a subsidiary of NGC Transmission, is constructing a turbine transmission equipment plant in Fort Worth.

The delegation, led by Price, Meadows and Berzina, expressed its desire to pursue a partnership that extends the high-speed rail connection from Dallas to Fort Worth.

“This significantly elevated both the level of discussions and positive outcomes with our newest corporate client NGC and the other government representatives with whom we met. Every aspect of this international trip was a home run for our region and our city,” Berzina said.

Price said such air service and business development mission trips are priceless, allowing an international city like Fort Worth to build stronger relationships that support local trade, travel and jobs.
Horray for more jobs.

A 64-Mile Bike 'Superhighway' Will Connect Fort Worth To Dallas | KERA News

Just read this, it was posted on the Dallas forum and I decided to post it on FW's too. So apparently DFW might get a bike highway?... Lol, I am positive that the people from the Fort Worth architecture forums will be happy to see this...

-_- I saw the image on the website before, and I have also seen the signs around the street for the propositions... and I just realized that the icon and image shows the new convention center.... Damn,I am really slow...

It still took me a while to catch on when I saw the image, the arena seems like it has already been there before...
