Nearly every day local elected officials deliberate on important issues that affect our profession. These officials wield tremendous power over our future. The Greater Fort Worth Real Estate Council PAC (GFWREC PAC) will be your voice when public policy decisions are being made … decisions that impact how and when our community grows and prospers… decisions that determine if an idea or project is embraced or stymied. We are the collective voice of the commercial real estate profession.
Our mission is promoting development-friendly local public policy that benefits our commercial real estate profession and our community. Our success depends on your financial and personal involvement. Your participation is important.
There are a number of issues that demand our attention. We worked diligently to ensure the new Fort Worth Transportation Impact Fee was balanced and workable for our commercial developers and the community. And we are actively involved in the fee’s implementation. Revenue from the fee must be used for roads and streets in a timely manner.
With your participation in our PAC, we will present a strong voice for reduced traffic congestion through improved and expanded roads and highways. We will make an impact with local elected officials on the funding of a regional rail plan. And, we will work to achieve a local tax and fee structure that is conducive to responsible development.
Simply put we must be prepared to say “yes” or “no” on behalf of our profession, with a clear, firm and unified voice. Your participation is crucial if to our advocacy efforts with those that shape our future.
