COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER PUBLIC COMMENTS DUE BY THIS MONDAY OCTOBER 16
The future of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center’s building at 1300 Gendy is on the table. After issuing a Request for Proposals to re-imagine the historic building, the City of Fort Worth appointed a task force to make recommendations. That group narrowed down the field to two potential scenarios to consider. One developer proposes a 175-room hotel with 250 apartments, restaurant space and banquet halls. The other developer proposes a 113,000 square foot development that includes a multi-purpose performance studio, maker space, two restaurants, an outdoor amphitheater, with three anchor tenants, including Jubilee Theater, The Cliburn, and the Fort Worth African American Museum.
Public presentations by the two developers were held on October 11. Recordings of the presentations are linked below.
The City wants to hear comments from the public. You are have until this Monday October 16 at 4 pm to weigh in.
