Nearly $3 million will be invested in renovating the existing facility on the 19.69-acre site. An additional $6 million will be added to the City’s tax rolls from the transfer of operations and from additional machinery and equipment added through the expansion. Initial operations will create 104 full-time positions with plans for further expansion

The City of Fort Worth will be taking part in the national Lights Out campaign and will be dimming its skyline every night from midnight to 6 a.m. through May 31 to help save migrating birds who may otherwise get lost or crash into buildings.
The goal of Lights Out is to help protect billions of birds as they migrate throughout the United States. The migration primarily occurs at night which is when the lights from buildings shine the brightest and can post a dangerous distraction for transitory birds.
