Fort Worth has taken off like a rocket in population growth (it had the largest numeric population gain of any city in America in 2022). Now there's speculation that actual real-life rockets could be launched into space from near the Panther City, according to a 2025 Tarrant County Commercial Real Estate Forecast discussion between Corriente Advisors CEO Mark Hart and Robert Allen, president and CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership.
The second-largest freight brokerage in North America previously expanded to Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. TQL's new Fort Worth office "underscores our city's strength as a hub for logistics and innovation, supported by a large talent pool," said Robert Allen, president and CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership.
Along with hiring Chelsea Griffith as VP of investor relations, the Fort Worth EDP also announced a $500,000 gift from the Leo Potishman Foundation as it works toward its $5 million annual goal.
“Our goal was to create a digital destination that promotes Fort Worth as a premier business location, complementing the economic development efforts of our partners at the city of Fort Worth,” said Fort Worth EDP President and CEO Robert Allen.

The organization said the board signifies a "robust and resolute commitment to attracting and recruiting businesses to Fort Worth," one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation.
JCNA's model plant in Fort Worth will be its cornerstone North American R&D hub, driving innovations for the EV market and creating over 120 jobs by 2025.
The Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce has taken significant steps to boost economic development for the city by creating the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership. The newly-formed nonprofit will be headed by Texas economic development industry veteran Robert Allen, who was appointed as president.
