Development wave hits SH 114

BY CODY THORN

Trophy Club

A 2.2-mile stretch along SH 114 in and around Southlake will transform vacant land into developments with major tenant anchors as soon as this winter. Two retail developments, one with an anchor tenant being a grocery store and the other a steakhouse, are coming to Southlake. Trophy Club has started the process of adding business and gathering space near its town hall, further

boosting visibility and visitors along a portion of SH 114 in Tarrant County. ”We’re getting some of the spaces on [SH] 114 lled,” said Daniel Cortez, Southlake director of economic development and tourism. “That signals northeast Tarrant County is still growing.”

Voters to decide on crime prevention funding A 20-year extension of the Crime Control and Prevention District will be on the ballot for the May 2 election after Grapevine City Council approval at the March 3 meeting. The context The city of Grapevine receives 2% in sales tax with 0.5% allocated to the Crime Control and Prevention District, Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Strawn said during the Feb. 3 council meeting. The allocation is set to expire in May, and with- out an extension, the revenue from the sales tax would go into the general fund, Strawn said Feb. 3. Zooming in The CCPD, which covers the whole city, funds the police’s dispatch, criminal investigations division and jail operations. Early voting runs April 20-28 and election day is May 2.

Grapevine funds $19M wastewater plant upgrades

Fiscal year

*PROJECTED

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is projected to end the 2025-26 fiscal year with a shortfall of about $1.47 million, according to a late February report from Director of Finance Paula McBride. Breaking it down McBride’s report shows the district’s fund balance will drop from about $39.7 million to $38.3 million at the end of the current fiscal year June 30. McBride also said that enroll- ment for the 2025-26 school year was 242 students less than anticipated, which could result in a higher than expected recapture payment, contributing to the shortfall. The report also showed that payroll was responsible for about 85% of the district’s expenditures, and payroll costs had gone up by roughly $2 million since the 2024-25 fiscal year due to staff raises, despite staff reductions. “Being in a service industry,

payroll is our largest cost,” McBride said. Also of note The $1.47 million shortfall is about $300,000 lower than FY 2024-25 deficit and $1.3 million lower than FY 2023-24 deficit, per McBride’s report.

What are the biggest challenges facing the district? GCISD faces enrollment shifts and facility challenges, requiring thoughtful long-term planning, compounded by a difficult political climate and an unprecedented attack on public education from leaders in Austin, where discretionary funding has increased just $55 in seven years while inflation has risen over 20%, straining district resources.

How do you plan to address these issues?

I’ve addressed these challenges by focusing on responsible planning, student-centered decision- making and clear communication. I’ve supported aligning facilities with enrollment, prioritized safety, championed teachers by ensuring they have the resources they need and pushed back on inadequate state funding.

A.J. Pontillo* Occupation & experience: Federal law enforcement officer and current trustee, Place 5 www.connectwithaj.org

Enrollment is declining, yet we haven’t asked families why students are leaving. We’ve also reduced programs that attract families to districts like ours. Soon we’ll compete with ESAs (vouchers) while state funding hasn’t meaningfully increased since 2019. We must listen to families and strengthen what makes GCISD a destination.

GCISD is full of talented residents who want to help our schools succeed. We should engage them through larger, transparent committees that are publicly listed and selected through a fair process. Bringing more voices into the process will strengthen decisions and our community.

What are the biggest challenges facing the district? While there are always the primary issues of student achievement, teacher appreciation and retention, and communication, the current big issues relate to lack of state funding (Robin Hood), declining enrollment and administrative transitions (new hires: Superintendent, Athletic Director, CFO)

How do you plan to address these issues? I plan to maintain financial responsibility while retaining teachers and still delivering high-quality programs for students. Additionally, I plan to use my experience to ensure we hire strong district leaders to advance student growth. I will provide fact-based communication and strengthen programs that attract new students to increase enrollment.

Dianna Sager* Occupation & experience: Current GCISD Trustee; retired teacher (33 years - 20 in GCISD); Masters in Educational Administration www.sagerforgcisd.com

GCISD is currently operating without a vision and strategic plan for our future while struggling with financial stewardship. Our community distrusts the board’s decision making processes resulting in divisiveness. These prominent issues make it difficult to attract new families to the district.

We signal our priorities through our rhetoric and budget. I will be transparent and candid about my decisions. I will listen to the community, rather than dismiss their concerns. I will look for creative ways to restore programs our students have lost and increase revenue ensuring fiscal stability.

What are the biggest challenges facing the district? With GCISD being a recapture (Robinhood) district, along with state funding not keeping up with inflation, our biggest challenge going forward is creating capacity and sustainability in our budget to protect our future and respect our taxpayers. Unifying our community to work through these issues together is a must. Declining enrollment threatens financial stability, as revenue depends on attendance and accurate forecasting. Stronger community communication is needed to align programs with student and family demand and to market them effectively. Addressing these areas together is essential to sustain enrollment and long-term viability through a coordinated, data-informed strategy.

How do you plan to address these issues? I will work to operate more efficiently, create and pursue new revenue streams, continue to advocate with state lawmakers, and keep the taxes within our limited control at the lowest reasonable rate for our stakeholders. We must create opportunities for our whole community to work together for future planning. We will analyze why 1,500 students do not attend GCISD, expand targeted outreach to families with young children and clearly showcase district programs. Increasing enrollment will strengthen funding, while data-driven, innovative initiatives will advance our mission and long-term success with measurable outcomes, partnerships, accountability, transparency and community trust.

Health care

BY HEATHER MCCULLOUGH

Internal medicine doctor discusses allergy symptoms, treatments As springtime pollen allergies approach, North Texas residents with seasonal allergies may experience increased symptoms. Dr. Deepika Kumaresan, an internal medicine doctor with Baylor Scott & White Health, spoke with Community Impact about allergies in Dallas- Fort Worth, including symptoms, most prevalent allergens and treatment. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. For a longer version, visit communityimpact.com. What are allergies, and what does the average person need to know about them? Allergies occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to substances that are typically harmless—like pollen, dust, mold or pet dander. When exposed, the immune system releases

chemicals, such as histamine, which trigger symptoms ranging from sneezing and itchy eyes to more serious reactions. Understanding your triggers and recognizing symptoms early helps you manage allergies eectively. Which allergens are most prevalent in North Texas? North Texas experiences a high burden of airborne allergens throughout the year. The most common include: • Tree pollens: oak, pecan, cedar, elm • Grass pollens: Bermuda and Johnson grass • Weeds: ragweed, especially in the fall How should people treat them? The right care team can help you develop a personalized plan to nally get them under control. Common treatments include over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal corticosteroid sprays and decongestants for short-term relief. Environmental controls—such as keeping windows closed, using air conditioning and regularly cleaning indoor spaces— can also help reduce exposure.

COURTESY BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE

Common allergies by season In Texas—and especially North Texas—seasonal allergies can occur nearly year-round due to the climate and plant diversity, Kumaresan said.

Winter (December-February): cedar pollen

Spring (February-May): tree pollens

Development wave hits SH 114

What’s happening

Trophy Club hired Catalyst Commercial Inc. for advisory work for $5,500 a month for up to 14 months and Core Location Advisor for brokerage services for $77,000 to develop a small area plan near town hall, called The Grove at TC, with aspirations of spurring economic activity along SH 114, Town Manager Brandon Wright said. “There is not really much development left in Trophy Club, so we can be very slow and inten- tional and selective,” Wright said, adding the town is about 95% developed. “The town has two large parcels vacant right now, and it provides us a really good opportunity [for retail development].” He said the companies will create the frame- work from feedback and seek a developer who would have an interest in the project. There are vertical mixed-use development concepts that could feature oce, commercial or restaurant use, as well as infrastructure plans for trac ow, parking and pedestrian walkways. The town owns 4,000 linear feet along SH 114 frontage roads, but Wright said a development there would need to keep sucient parking for HG Supply Co., a restaurant on a 2-acre tract of land.

parcels of land date back more than 70 years and 40 years. “With leasing activity already underway, this will be a grocery-anchored destination unlike any other in the area,” Trademark CEO Terry Montesi said. Last year, he said that an organic grocer with a national presence would be in this project. An Instagram post on Jan. 9 stated the developer had signed a lease with a grocer, though the name of that retailer has not been announced. Seven ling permits for retail buildings were made March 31, tallying more than $30 million.

The three dierent projects are slated to include new shopping, dining and other activities on 46 acres in Southlake and 7.4 acres in Trophy Club. The largest development is Shivers Farm, a 40-acre mixed-use development at SH 114 and North White Chapel Boulevard. Southlake City Council approved developers Trademark Property Co.’s $120 million plan to bring a grocery store, oce, retail and 37 single-family housing lots in October to the proposed project. The Shivers Farm property dates back to 1918 when a house was built there and the property began operating as a farm. Other

Looking ahead

Restaurateur Tim McEneny is bringing Dakota’s Steakhouse to Tarrant County. McEneny is devel- oping a 6-acre tract at the intersection of West Kirkwood Boulevard and SH 114 that will include the steakhouse, an event center and a shopping center with seven retail suites. The rst phase of the three-phase development is the steakhouse, which will be visible along SH 114 thanks to its 35-foot elevation. “It’s going to look good because it’s going to glow that amber color, and you’ll see the trees and the steakhouse because it is prominent, but you won’t see much of the rest of the site from the street,” McEneny said. “The steakhouse will be front and center on that corner.” The steakhouse will feature a waterfall that is 60 feet tall and 10 feet wide, which will be the focal point inside the restaurant, he said. In the adjacent event center, a portion of it will be underground, an ode to the original location in Dallas. He said construction of the steakhouse will start

McEneny said there has been a lot of interest in the retail spots. One of his ideas for a spot is a butcher shop and bakery mix, where dining guests can buy cuts of meat or freshly baked bread to take home.
