Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Weatherford public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Redevelopment and Sale of Downtown City-Owned Properties
A 10-year deal with Parker County puts the city in charge of operating, maintaining, and permitting all four quadrants of the courthouse square plus the York Avenue parking lot — and gives the city first shot if the county ever sells.
Palo Pinto Street Underground Utilities Relocation
The city is hiring an engineering firm to design underground utility relocations along Palo Pinto Street in preparation for a future TxDOT road rebuilding project.
Urban Agriculture Ordinance
Weatherford just updated its rules to officially allow backyard chickens, making it easier for residents to start their own mini-farms. It’s a big win for locals who have been pushing for more freedom to grow their own food at home.
Public Health Ordinance
Weatherford just rolled out a new smoking ban, but it’s not a total blackout. You’ll need to check the fine print to see which local spots are still letting people light up.
