  "The Willow Park city council authorized the creation of a TIRZ in October of 2016... Wilks Development has several construction projects completed or underway within the TIRZ, which is about 230 acres encompassing the old race track property and The Shops at Willow Park area... 'when we started the TIRZ and created the district, the hope is always to grow tax revenue for the city and when we started in 2016, the total tax assessment on the TIRZ was $26,664,000. As of the 2019 assessment it was over $60,000,000 and with all of the construction we have going on, I expect in the next couple of years that number will double,' Wilks Development President Kyle Wilks said."​
