Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for March 20, 2025.
We're starting off with some exciting news for food lovers in Fort Worth. The city's culinary scene is heating up with several new restaurants and bars set to open this year. We're particularly looking forward to the arrival of Delilah, a swanky supper club, and Avra, an upscale Greek restaurant. These out-of-town establishments are bringing their unique flavors to our city, adding to our already diverse dining options.
In other business news, Costco is expanding its presence in North Texas. Two new locations are opening next month in Prosper and Weatherford. The Prosper store, located along US 380, will open on March 14, while the Weatherford location at the northwest corner of I-20 and Center Point Road will welcome customers on March 15. This expansion is great news for shoppers and job seekers alike.
Speaking of jobs, we've got some positive developments on that front. Siemens, the German global technology giant, has just opened a new $190 million electrical equipment manufacturing plant in south Fort Worth. The facility has already created 480 jobs and is expected to add a total of 800 by 2026. With an average salary of $63,000, this is a significant boost for our local economy.
Now, let's talk about what's happening at City Hall. The Fort Worth City Council recently approved incentives for Siemens, including a 10-year tax abatement. This move is expected to attract more businesses and create more job opportunities in our area.
On a somber note, we must report a tragic incident that occurred over the weekend. Two people were killed and one was critically injured in a shooting in the 4200 block of Lisbon Street early Sunday morning. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. The police are investigating the incident, and we urge anyone with information to come forward.
In lighter news, the Fort Worth Zoo is currently hosting its popular half-price admission days during spring break. It's a great opportunity for families to enjoy one of our city's premier attractions at a discounted rate. The zoo has been drawing large crowds, so we recommend planning your visit in advance.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we've got some exciting events coming up. The MPI DFW Education Day is taking place tomorrow at the Hyatt Regency Frisco. It's a great opportunity for meeting professionals to network and learn from industry experts.
As for the weather, we're looking at a beautiful spring day with temperatures in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. It's perfect weather for outdoor activities, so why not take a stroll along the Trinity Trails or enjoy a picnic in one of our beautiful parks?
