WITH ITS TWO FACILITIES—ONE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AND THE OTHER RIGHT HERE IN FORT WORTH—THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING IS THE NATION’S SOLE PRODUCER OF U.S. PAPER CURRENCY. THE BUREAU PRINTS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, REFERRED TO AS FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES, EACH YEAR FOR DELIVERY TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM— AND ABOUT 60% OF THOSE ARE PRINTED IN TARRANT COUNTY.
Population Boom
FORT WORTH IS ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING CITIES IN THE NATION, SEEING AT LEAST A 25% INCREASE IN POPULATION SINCE 2010. AT THE CURRENT RATE OF GROWTH, FORT WORTH’S POPULATION IS PROJECTED TO REACH APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION PEOPLE BY 2028.
THE THIRD-MOST populous county in Texas, Tarrant County is home to more than 2.1 million people—and nearly half of them reside in Fort Worth. It offers a little bit of everything: cattle drives, wineries, football and the Christmas Capital of Texas. Tarrant County’s western roots remain strong, but today are paralleled by renowned cultural destinations and a global business economy.
BEYOND THE GRIDIRON
THE WORLD’S LARGEST DOMED STRUCTURE AND ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SPORTS VENUES EVER BUILT, ARLINGTON’S AT&T STADIUM IS HOME TO MORE THAN THE DALLAS COWBOYS. THE STADIUM ALSO HOUSES A COLLECTION OF MUSEUM-QUALITY CONTEMPORARY ARTWORK AND EVEN HOSTS GUIDED ART TOURS.
