Fort Worth primed 836 tomorrow Ranchland in North Fort Worth for Development.
The members of the city council empowered an agreement with the developers to provide the Road Adjazent area of the Bonds Ranch with water and sewage services after the expansion of water and sewage services. The country is currently located in Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction east of the Eagle Mountain Lake. The property is located south of the Peden Road, east of the Morris Dido Newark Road and north of the Bonds Ranch Road.
The agreement is the “first of three developments in the ETJ of Fort Worth on the north side of the Bonds Ranch Road,” said deputy city manager Dana Burghdoff in an e -mail to the Fort Worth Report.
The contract increases the construction of thousands of new houses in the once extensive Ranchland along the Bonds Ranch Road, where several developers have started with large -scale development projects.
The city can annex the property as soon as it is structured.
Developer MM Bonds 836 LLC and struts Path Development MD Commercial LLC are planning, according to documents from the Council to build residential areas and commercial properties with open spaces and other amenities.
In April 2024, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court approved the creation of a special tax zone in the region to finance the construction of roads, sewers and sidewalks. The area collects funds from the Bonds Ranch Public Improvement District and the Bond Ranch Operations and Maintenance Public Improvement District.
Developments in the region require the expansion of the Bonds Ranch Road, a two -lane road that connects the Morris Dido Nark Road with the Highway 287. The road, which is divided in the middle by train traces, faces high traffic jams because it offers the easiest access to the highway for the current residents.
Tarrant County contributed around 30 million US dollars to the design of the road expansion by means of funds from the public improvement areas, said Burghdoff. The developers pay the construction costs for the segments of the street next to their projects.
The Eagle Mountain High School, which opened in August, is located on the street of the project.
Land legally referred to a possible future annexation, which is located in a certain distance from the official borders of a city.
Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction extends over 5 miles from its city limits.
A municipality is only responsible in these areas, but is usually responsible for the provision of some municipal services such as police and fire protection, garbage collection as well as water and sewage services.
The Bonds Ranch was founded in 1933 when Veteran Pr “Bob” Bonds bought 5,000 acres near Saginaw in the First World War after being rich all over East Texas. A rapid development has been recorded in the region in recent years, since the expansion of Fort Worth to north makes the area for developers and homeowners increasingly attractive.
