"Fort Worth Local Pulse: Community events, police upgrades, economic growth, and weekend fun"

Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, February 22, 2025. We're starting off the day with a look at what's happening around our city. First, let's talk about community events. Today, you can join the District 11 Town Hall at the Andrew "Doc" Session Community Center, where city departments will be on hand to answer questions and share updates on various projects, including infrastructure and public safety. This is a great opportunity to get involved and make your voice heard. In other news, the Fort Worth Police Department has launched a new website with a fresh design and easier navigation. Starting February 12, residents can file reports, find patrol information, submit tips, and more. This upgrade aims to enhance communication between the police and the community. On the economic front, the latest Dallas-Fort Worth Economic Indicators report shows robust job growth and a drop in unemployment. Sales tax collections are up, and office and industrial net absorption was positive in the fourth quarter. This is good news for our local economy, with Fort Worth seeing a 1.4% growth in employment in December. If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, there are plenty of events happening around Fort Worth. The Black History Celebration is taking place at The Dock Bookshop on Meadowbrook Drive today at 1:00 PM. Additionally, the Fairmount Community Library is hosting a Mardi Gras Gala at the Southside Preservation Hall and Rose Chapel tonight at 7:00 PM. In sports, local schools have been making waves at the 2025 TAPPS State Swim Meet.

Congratulations to all our local athletes on their achievements. On a lighter note, today is National Margarita Day, and restaurants and bars across Dallas-Fort Worth are offering deals and specials.
