North Texas is growing fast. By 2050, our region could be home to more than 12.5 million people.

So what does that mean for the future of our communities? Will we have the resources we need to support that growth, like water?

That was the focus of the first Vision North Texas 2.0 workshop.

The North Central Texas Council of Governments, The University of Texas at Arlington, and ULI Dallas-Fort Worth brought together leaders from across the region to talk about one of the biggest challenges ahead: making sure North Texas has the water resources needed to support sustainable growth and development.

This collaborative effort is just getting started, and we’re excited to continue the work of planning for a strong and sustainable future for North Texas.

💬 What do you think will be the biggest challenge as our region grows?
