Economic Policy Briefing: Building Fort Worth’s Next Capital Era

You're invited to a private civic briefing hosted through Worthian, a civic initiative from the Chicotsky family advancing policy formation. Attendees will hear how capital inflows and fiscal planning support long-term growth and safety, including funding pathways for law enforcement and first responders.

This gathering brings together office holders, economists, first responders, institutional professionals, and private capital leaders to discuss how civic policy decisions shape the long-term flow of capital into and through the city.

Worthian's Mission: Advance pro-business policy with a focus on attracting long‑term capital into the city. This is a non-partisan entity.

Infrastructure reliability, public safety investment, municipal bonds, and lawful non-tax revenue strategies all shape:

• The cost of capital across development
• The speed of transactions across industries
• The risk profile facing investors and operators
• The long-term stability of the city’s economic base

Your participation helps shape the direction of the city and equips Worthian with the resources to advance policy frameworks tied to infrastructure, bond issuance, and long-term growth; and to develop and advocate for lawful, non-tax revenue mechanisms that increase capital inflows into Fort Worth.
