City of Fort Worth celebrates the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting on the New Council Chambers
Special thank you to our District 10 residents, who came and spoke on Day 1, thanking elected officials for protecting assets and caring for teachers, students, and families of North Fort Worth! A truly great day!
Breaking ground of the future Far Northwest Library, let's get this library party started!
The Far NW Library Groundbreaking marks a huge win for our community! Thanks to your voices, advocacy, and dedication, City of Fort Worth is investing in the north—bringing the resources and amenities you asked for. In just 12-14 months, we’ll cut the ribbon on a brand-new library—a fun, safe, and educational hub that will be a vital part of life in North Fort Worth! This is YOUR library, built by the strength of your voices.
A special thanks to Mayor Mattie Parker and our incredible community partners who helped make this happen:
Fishing Fun
Hooked on Community! Cabela's, Fort Worth Police Department - North Division, and Northwest ISD’s Adaptive P.E. Program teamed up for fishing, fun, and unforgettable memories!

Wetter weather and taller grass are prime conditions for mosquito breeding grounds. Mosquito season is upon us once again, and the City of Fort Worth is starting its annual monitoring of mosquito activity by trapping and testing for mosquito-borne viruses across our city. As we enter another active mosquito season, residents can take proactive steps to safeguard themselves and their community. This includes regularly removing standing water from containers, outdoor furniture, toys, hoses, or bird baths in your yard; using insect repellent with DEET; and maintaining trimmed lawns to minimize potential breeding sites. The City of Fort Worth provides free supplies for mosquito control and prevention, such as mosquito dunks and insect repellent containing DEET. Contact the Environmental Services Consumer Health Division, at ConsumerHealth@fortworthtexas.gov, for more information.
