Residents Push Back Against Floodplain Development Approval.

July 11, 2025

Tension is rising in Benbrook after the recent Planning & Zoning meeting left many residents stunned and frustrated.

A controversial development project located in a known floodplain has been approved, despite strong community opposition and growing concerns over safety and transparency.

For locals, the issue hits close to home. Many walked away from the meeting feeling ignored and disrespected, believing city officials turned a blind eye to the potential risks to homes and families for the sake of a questionable developer with a shaky reputation.

Now, Benbrook residents are rallying. They’re calling for media attention, demanding accountability, and encouraging neighbors to speak up. From emailing local newsrooms to contacting state representatives, residents are taking action to raise awareness about what they see as a dangerous and irresponsible decision.

Contact our Texas State Representative Craig Goldman at craig.goldman@house.texas.gov or by phone at 817-920-5912.

Whether you’re directly impacted or just concerned about the direction of local leadership, the message is clear: now is the time to make your voice heard.
