Fort Worth is the 13th largest city in the nation. Tarrant County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States and is projected to double in population in the next 25 years. This growth represents a unique opportunity to develop and build housing to accommodate a mixed income of citizens who fulfill all the jobs needed to create a successful business community.
Please Join ULI Dallas-Fort Worth for a dynamic discussion about affordable housing, who it serves, how the deals are put together, what it looks like and how it creates successful communities and fosters economic development.
