June to August. And just that fast the Willow Park FM 1187 annexation of 232 acres of land has been rescinded.
In June 2024, the City approved a project by the "Brothers in Christ" to start the annexation of 232 acres of land on FM 1187, for 1+ businesses, and 100+ residential. In August, the City rescinded the annexation. What happened? There were no specific, public details from the developer. However, the City indicated they chose to rescind and invite resubmission at a later date.
During the 11 June 2024 Council Meeting [1], the City approved a project by the "Brothers in Christ" to start the annexing the following into the City of Willow Park:
• approximately 232 acres (3.208 Acre tract and a 228.4 acre tract) along FM 1187 and Bankhead Highway East.
• approximately 11 acres of East Bankhead Highway easement and approximately 1.034 acres of FM 1187 easement
Bryson Adams, listed as co-owner, [2] who attended the 11 June 2024 Council Meeting [1], told Willow Park Civics there were no firm plans for the land usage, but there are possibilities of a commercial gas station / convenience store, "like QT" on FM 1187, and residential houses "behind" the commercial business. [3]
However, during the 13 August 2024 Council Meeting [4], all these annexing ordinances were rescinded.
When questioned by Willow Park Civics, the City indicated there were "things" or processes that had to happen before the annexation could start. In instead of postponing, the City chose to rescind and invite resubmission at a later date.

Willow Park is growing 232 acres in land, 1+ in business, and 100+ in residential. Annexation on FM 1187.
*# = Source
Willow Park is in the process of annexing approximately 232 acres along FM 1187 and Bankhead Highway East. In order to complete the annexation, the city will also annex approximately 11 acres of East Bankhead Highway, [#2] and approximately 1.034 acres of FM 1187 [#3]
Currently referred to as the Brothers in Christ project, the land was in the Aledo and the Fort Worth Extra-territorial jurisdictions (ETJ) [#1, #2], but neither city could offer city utilities at that location, so the owners turned to Willow Park.
Bryson Adams, listed as co-owner, who attended the 11 June 2024 Council Meeting [#2], told WPC there were no firm plans for the land usage, but there were possibilities of a commercial gas station / convenience store, "like QT" on FM 1187, and residential houses "behind" the commercial business.
The annexation process includes the following:
• Petition the City of Aledo and the City of Fort Worth to exit their ETJs.
• Petition to be annexed into the City of Willow Park, including Public Hearings and approval by the City.
• All annexed property comes into city limits as Residential Zone 1, so the owners will apply to re-zone for commercial zone and residential zone.
• Petition for re-zoning will come before the Planning and Zoning Commission with Pubic Hearings and P&Z approval.
• P&Z approved, re-zoning petition will come before the City Council with Pubic Hearings and Council approval.
