Key takeaway The city will not demolish the silos, a move that was initially considered in 2016 if the property owner did not address the structures.
Fort Worth has made a decision regarding the century-old grain silos in the Worth Heights neighborhood. The city will not demolish the silos, a move that was initially considered in 2016 if the property owner did not address the structures. The decision allows for neighborhood improvement projects to be funded instead.
However, the city cited budget constraints as the reason for not moving forward with demolition. A funding gap of $600,000 was also mentioned as a factor. Further details about the decision and its implications are available from the city.
The Worth Heights neighborhood had been allocated funds for the demolition project, but the city ultimately decided it was not feasible at this time.
