City Council Evening Meeting | November 10, 2026

The City of Fort Worth City Council evening meeting on November 10, 2026, included procurement- and funding-related items on the consent agenda. Council approved the consent agenda, which included the city’s application for a $500,000 DNA Backlog Grant Program award and a $1.5 million QuickTrip donation for expansion of the Real Time Crime Center tactical program at One Safe Place. The council also recognized the 2026 Beck School of Construction cohort, a city–Beck Group program that prepared 21 local businesses to compete for municipal construction work; no contract awards were announced. Speakers referenced a $50 million, 10-year tax abatement for a semiconductor testing facility approved at an earlier meeting, but it was not a new action at this meeting.

Council held and then closed the first public hearing on a proposed data center moratorium. Residents raised concerns about utility and infrastructure costs, environmental and health impacts, noise, setbacks, zoning, decommissioning, and whether semiconductor and AI-related facilities should be covered. Staff reviewed the required public-hearing and ordinance timeline; council took no vote on adopting the moratorium at this hearing, with a further hearing planned. The discussion concerned possible future development regulations and further study, not a procurement award.
