This was fast.

I wish the city was just as quick on OTHER major projects . . .

The Pier 1 tower will soon be Fort Worth’s new City Hall.

Quote:
No Pier 1 Imports throw pillows, accent rugs or furniture could be found at the company’s former corporate headquarters. Instead Fort Worth’s city logo, the longhorn, marked the iconic tower as the new City Hall.

City Manager David Cooke and Mayor Betsy Price gathered Tuesday with City Council members and staff in the lobby of the high-rise at 100 Energy Way to formally unveil the new city hall, saying they hope the former office building will be a more welcoming public space than the current city hall.

Cooke has lauded the deal to purchase the tower for just under $70 million as “lucky” since the city had anticipated asking voters to support twice that in the 2022 bond election to build a new, more modern city hall.

Fort Worth needs to offer incentives to developer like Austin does.

The City of Austin may provide developers with incentives—such as fee waivers, density bonuses, tax incentives, and development agreements—to build and to set aside affordable rental and ownership housing for low- and moderate-income households in developments.

Well, new mayor coming... this would be the time to take advantage.

Hopefully this one actually gets built and the neighboring museums don't complain this time.
