West Commerce/Fort Worth Avenue Corridor Supplemental Improvement Grant Program
Program Description
The Fort Worth Avenue Development Group has designed this program to inspire projects that preserve and enhance facades, landscaping and the overall appearance of structures located along the West Commerce/Fort Worth Avenue corridor (from the Trinity River to Westmoreland).
Our goal is to offer guidance and financial assistance to businesses located along the corridor who wish to help us upgrade the appearance of the boulevard.
