Keep Forney Moving: A Key Element in the City’s Strategic Plan
Economic development is becoming increasingly competitive. Forney officials and citizens understand this and have demonstrated a willingness to indentify and address opportunities that will increase the City’s level of competitiveness in the marketplace by participating in a strategic planning session last June. Through this session the City’s vision, competitive differentiators and strategic objectives to promote future growth were outlined. The results found that a significant factor in achieving Forney’s growth targets will be – improved transportation.
The Forney Vision: Forney is a beautiful hometown community of opportunity, mobility, and vibrancy.
This vision of the City takes the best of the current assets and focuses on future growth mediums such as mobility. Through the strategic planning session several competitive differentiators were identified that will enable the mobility aspect of the Forney Vision to be realized: convenient highway and rail access, willingness to grow and improve and supportive citizenry. Improved transportation now comes in the form of several prioritized transportation projects including: US 80/FM 548, FM 740 (Pinson North) and FM 741 (College). These projects were bundled into an improvement program titled: Keep Forney Moving!
