LWA Awarded Best Neighborhood Association

Fort Worth Weekly recently honored the Lake Worth Alliance in its “Best of 2007” edition.  Lake Worth Alliance was named the critic’s choice for Best Neighborhood Association.  Below is the paragraph about the Lake Worth Alliance printed in FWW in the “People & Politics” section.

“Some neighborhood groups get caught up in the minutiae, like complaining about what kind of hedges a homeowner can plant or how to enforce historical guidelines to ban garage-door openers. But the LWA has a singular purpose, and they are hewing to it. They simply want the city to use funds to dredge Lake Worth, create attractive parks and beaches, and maybe open the way for floating restaurants and other businesses that will make the lake a jewel of the Metroplex. They figure all the money the city is getting from gas drilling under Lake Worth can pay for it without raising taxes. Their focus is not on how their streetlights will look next year but on how healthy and inviting all of Cowtown will be 40 years from now.”

Save Lake Worth Rally & Fall General Meeting
    On Sunday, October 14, 2007, the Lake Worth Alliance held a public meeting for area residents to learn what LWA has been up to lately.  The statuses of current Lake Worth dredging projects were addressed by Paul Bounds, and members of the FWPD and Lake Worth Marshals discussed safety issues and areas of concern.  Other issues such as JLUS and the controversial disposal site were also presented and discussed openly with public participation.  We had an excellent turnout, and we greatly appreciate those who volunteered their Sunday afternoon to come together for this event!
