Haltom City, Texas, Leaders Say Retail Center May Be Catalyst for Development.
Byline: Sandra Baker
Feb. 26--HALTOM CITY, Texas--Fort Worth developer Justin McWilliams has acquired 6.01 acres in the heart of Belknap Street, where he plans a multi-building retail development.
The planned 50,000-square-foot development, Belknap Street Town Square, at the corner of Waldemar Street will consist of at least four buildings housing various businesses, retailers and restaurants, McWilliams said.
City leaders say they are hopeful the project will spur further development on the few remaining lots of land, as well as the redevelopment of some older properties, along Belknap Street.
"It will be good for the area, a catalyst," said James Pliska, Haltom City's director of planning. "We've had a little bit of redevelopment already, but I'm anxious to see their building plans. It's a good piece of property."
In the past couple of years, four other developers have proposed projects for the land, but none went through with their plans, Pliska said.
Other city officials declined to comment, saying they didn't know enough about the project to comment on it. No tax incentives were offered.
