ForwardDallas Summit – 18 Sep 2024

What is FowardDallas & Why Should You Care?

The Dallas Express and Candy’s Dirt will host a summit on ForwardDallas and the proposed comprehensive plan changes including the Dallas City Council’s push for higher residential density, ostensibly to address the perceived housing affordability issue.

  • Time: 2:00pm-5:00pm
  • Location: Cooper Hotel, 12330 Preston Rd, Dallas, TX 75230

Among the topics they will be addressing at this summit are:

  • What is ForwardDallas exactly and why should you care?   
  • Does Dallas have an affordable housing problem and will ForwardDallas solve it?
  • Impacts of Higher Density Residential Development (crime, property values, quality of life)
  • ForwardDallas or “Backward Dallas” – The Good, Bad, & Ugly

Please RSVP HERE for the event and share with your family and friends.

This event will take place just a week before the planned city council ForwardDallas vote on September 25th. Time is running out!
