"This project will take Fort Worth to a new level
and the opportunities that will be presented for
growth and development will touch all communities."

This is city redevelopment at its finest. It's the kind
of thing that makes Fort Worth rank among the highest in
the nation for quality of life. The great cooperative
partnership with all local governments also distinguishes
Fort Worth and Tarrant County from most other areas of the
country."

Mike Moncrief, Fort Worth Mayor
"This plan, at once wide-ranging, comprehensive in scope and
finely detailed, is an exemplary piece of design emphasizing
several elements of urban redevelopment — environmental restoration,
transportation planning, parks and school facilities — that reflect
both the complexity of and responsiveness to urban waterfront
opportunities."

"It could trigger a wave of highly attractive residential, retail,
office and recreational development in what is now a generally
bedraggled and underused 800-acre area on the near north side
of Fort Worth. That metamorphosis could significantly expand
the city's tax base and virtually double the size of downtown
within a few decades."

"The bold Trinity River project is a chance to reshape the city
and elevate our quality of life...it will be a turning point
akin to building DFW Airport or creating Sundance Square, it's
that big."
