The non-medical sector, including manufacturing, commercial and retail businesses, employs 12,000 of the 30,000 District employees. Over the last decade, business entities spent hundreds of millions of dollars to expand or improve facilities, but witnessed a continued deterioration of the surrounding historical, residential, and commercial sectors. Organizations such as Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. demonstrate the effectiveness of uniting public and private resources to combat the problem of urban deterioration. Fort Worth South intends to use a similar mix of community resources to stimulate development projects and to achieve the kind of revitalization that has made Downtown Fort Worth a national model. This type of organization has the flexibility, vision and vitality that is generally unavailable to traditional institutions and government agencies.
