The City is currently working with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority to study potential routes for the light-rail transit system. The City of Fort Worth is carefully regulating the use of public buildings and property for telecommunications antennas and other equipment. The city and the comprehensive plan encourage an advanced telecommunications system. To reach this goal, the city will continue to encourage new cable television companies, telephone providers and other telecommunications services to come to town. Careful telecommunications planning will help ensure development and infrastructure enhancements that will continue to attract new and relocating businesses.
Every company needs an educated workforce.
Companies recognize that Fort Worth can supply that workforce because of its strong education system, both public and private. Fort Worth is served by the Fort Worth Independent School District along with 14 other ISDs. Additionally, there are 42 private schools in Fort Worth. Many residents also attend the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of North Texas in Denton. The University of North Texas Health Science Center and the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine also are located here.
