MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
The City of Irving incorporated more than 100 years ago and has a tremendous history. From historical south Irving where the city’s first homes and businesses were developed to the corporate campuses and office buildings in Las Colinas, Irving has a wide variety of neighborhoods, amenities, businesses and people. As the community continues to grow and flourish, city leadership is focused on reinvesting for the future to support tomorrow’s opportunities.
Ensuring that city infrastructure remains in good condition is vital to providing a healthy, safe community for residents and businesses. A strong support structure is also necessary to delivering key city services such as clean water, effective drainage, safe roads, essential sewer, public safety and more.
In Fiscal Year 2021-22 (FY22), the city accomplished its goal to invest $100 million in road and street improvements over five years.
In addition to completing several Road to the Future projects, the city also managed $38.7 million in drainage projects and $59.9 million in other capital improvement projects. Investing in critical infrastructure is the foundation for a strong, successful city, and Irving will continue to allocate operational and financial resources to maintain its core assets for future generations.
The city’s Annual Report is full of great information about Irving, and I hope you enjoy learning more about our fantastic city!
Richard H. Stopfer Mayor
