This week’s council meeting was another milestone for Council District 8. The Council unanimously passed the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) district for the Oakland Corners area along east Lancaster. Long-time activists were present at the council meeting, including West Meadowbrook Neighborhood President, Don Boren and Wanda Conlin.
The NEZ designation is especially important as it is a vital tool to attract positive Economic Development. Moreover, this NEZ is especially important because the Neighborhood Association was able to craft the NEZ. Applicants will have to adhere to the strict rules upon which businesses are eligible for tax abatements in the area. This will ensure positive development for years to come. More to come later on my remarks to the East Fort Worth Business Association this past week!
Onward and Upward District 8!
