including 'Density by Design' to ensure community sustainability.
Neighborhood Action Zones
$200 million in capital improvement projects (streets, drainage
channels, sewers, parks, alleys, sidewalks, sports fields and traffic
improvements) are revitalizing our community…one neighborhood at a time.
Connecting Everyone to Leisure Opportunities
Get the latest news on master plans for neighborhood parks, leisure
facilities, sports fields, and the hike and bike trail system.
Economic Development Drives our Community’s Vitality
Carrollton’s dynamic ‘pro-business’ economic development programs
capitalize on market conditions, sustainability issues and
transit-oriented development opportunities to positively impact the local
economy.
Managed Competition and Community Sustainability
Cost-effective business practices in city department operations help ensure
adequate financing for current and future city projects and services.
