Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker delivered her first State of the City, laying out her priorities to move the city forward.
- Fort Worth is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation nearing a million people with one of the youngest mayors of a major city—Mattie Parker at just 38-years-old. Her focus is building what she calls a 'world-class city' and what that looks like for those who live in the city.
"This is the state of Fort Worth, strong, prosperous, and growing," said Parker as she stood in front of hundreds inside Dickies Arena,"Our strength as a city lies in those differences and remember in Fort Worth, we attack problems and not people." "When you have a rise in violent crime, you have to focus those resources to help our officers fight violent crime and I think we're doing that in Fort Worth," added Parker.
Parker also addressed the homeless situation in the city,"We're going to have housing unit for every person who is currently homeless in this city."
