About
Fort Worth Now

A Message From Betsy Price
As Mayor of Fort Worth and a former small business owner, I understand the unforeseen challenges and difficulties so many of our businesses and organizations are facing during this unprecedented time.
Fort Worth is a compassionate city with great promise, and we will not let COVID-19 diminish our values of hard work, resiliency, and perseverance.
That is why I am proud to help launch Fort Worth Now — an economic recovery and growth strike force that will lead Fort Worth’s post-COVID response to stabilize and restore local businesses, while strategically targeting growth sectors to equitably advance Fort Worth’s economy.
Fort Worth Now will strategically and aggressively usher in a new era of economic development by identifying key sectors and talent industries for new opportunities throughout our entire community.
Through this website, Fort Worth Now will serve as an online resource hub, streamlining access to business support services available throughout our community.
Together, as one Fort Worth, we will emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger and build an equitable economy for a thriving community.

Mayor of the City of Fort Worth
Our Mission
To harness the power of Fort Worth to promote economic growth and bridge the divide between commerce and community. We hope to launch and support sustainable businesses locally by providing resources, connecting people and offering hands-on mentorship when it matters most—right now!

Impact of COVID-19 on Business
With the COVID-19 pandemic, small businesses across Fort Worth are having to rapidly adapt to changing guidelines and increased uncertainty. In response, we’ve put together a collection of resources to help navigate these challenges.
Our Partners
