I’ve just received this info from the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber Of Commerce, and decided it needed to be made known. There will be a meeting May 1 at the Handley-Meadowbrook Community Center at 6:00 p.m. in support of efforts by the FWMBCC to persuade the city to support the creation of two commuter rail lines using existing tracks near Lancaster and Rosedale to serve the east side of the city. Below is the message from the FWMBCC:
Dear Concerned Citizens:
On May 1, 2008, The Eastside Coalition for Commuter Rail Line will meet at the Handley- Meadowbrook Community Center, 6201 Beaty St, Fort Worth TX 76112. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m.
The Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce (FWMBCC) is concerned that East Fort Worth will not have an equal opportunity for a rail line as other parts of North Texas will.
Our community has to insure that that the East Side of Fort Worth is included in the influx of growth and wealth that the Commuter Rail would bring. There will be a tremendous affect on the economic development of our great city and the inhabitants around it. Our coalition has been working diligently for the last five years to get cooperation with the two entities involved to use the existing line adjacent to the Lancaster and Rosedale Communities for two commuter trains between Fort Worth & Dallas.
You are invited to attend and participate in this event. Your voice can only be heard when you speak out, so please be there.
For more information please contact me at 817-871-6538.
Thank You,
Major Attaway
Director of Economic Development
Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce
