The City of Fort Worth, Texas is working with Ash Crescent residents, businesses and churches on a $2.7 million effort to to revitalize the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is relatively small: just .56 square miles containing less than one percent of the city’s overall population. It has a high concentration of low- and moderate-income residents. Together with numerous indicators of distress like significant blight, inadequate public infrastructure, persistent public safety issues and low educational attainment, the neighborhood was deemed to be a prime candidate for improving the area’s vitality.
