(WBAP/KLIF) — Fort Worth residents will soon say goodbye to several stores at Montgomery Plaza after a unanimous city council vote, Tuesday.
The council approved Kimco Realty’s plan to raze Office Depot, PetSmart, Dollar Tree and Five Below in favor of two new apartment buildings along West 7th Street. According to Kimco Director of Development Chris Herman, the apartment buildings will feature nearly 600 units.
Fort Worth City Councilperson Elizabeth Beck, whose district includes West 7th Street, had a few concerns before the measure passed, including a second access point on Adolph Street to address traffic congestion which is to be constructed prior to completion of the apartment complexes.
The deal also includes 1.3 acres for open space and a dog park.
