City Development Report, Q1 2024 - 2025
Current Willow Park development includes five food establishments, an office for the University of Texas at Arlington, an automotive shop, and an office building.
The City of Willow Park Planning and Development Department presented the following Q1 Report for the Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 [1, Report in .pdf] during the 25 February 2025 Council Meeting:
Residential and Commercial Permits for the 1ST Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2024-25 [01 October 2024 through 30 September 2025] are consistent with last year’s permit count, forecasting another a good year for the City of Willow Park.
We are seeing a boost in residential productivity with the start of construction within “Country Hollow” [2], our residential subdivision east of Bayhill Drive, consisting of 98 single-family homesites.
As some political ambiguity calms, the interest rates stabilize, and the cost of some construction materials decrease, we are seeing an increase in commercial interest, but it has not yet materialized in our commercial permit count.
