Hello, District 10 neighbors and leaders,

We are all looking forward to the celestial experience of the Great North American Eclipse 2024, a "where were you when" moment. Have fun, and stay safe! 

Our area is growing because North Fort Worth is a great place to live, work, attend school, and play! New businesses and industries of all kinds are popping up. Just this month, we witnessed the launch of a new multi-platform TV network and studios, Merit Street Media, led by Dr. Phil McGraw, the announcement of a $58.5 million allocation from the Department of Energy to MP Materials for their Fort Worth facility that will play a key role in GM's EV journey, and the long-awaited opening of Fort Worth's first H-E-B grocery store. We will continue to advocate for infrastructure improvements and public safety to accommodate this growth.

I appreciate the many who have registered their opposition to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for the proposed Concrete Batch Plant at 13001 Old Denton Rd. This plant could have significant environmental and health implications for our community.

District 10 needs your attendance! At 6:00 pm, Monday, April 15, at Timber Creek High School, 12350 Timberland Blvd., concerned Fort Worth residents, businesses, elected officials, and others will come together in a show of solidarity to lobby against and voice concerns for the construction of the proposed concrete batch plant located at 13001 Old Denton Rd.

The TCEQ Public Meeting is a crucial event, and I plan to speak about it. I strongly urge you to join me. Your presence and support are invaluable.
