Hurst City Council orders demolition of substandard property at 1016 Mountain Terrace

Hurst City Council took significant steps towards community improvement during their meeting on June 24, 2025, approving key resolutions aimed at enhancing public safety and infrastructure.

The council unanimously voted to authorize the demolition of a substandard property located at 1016 Mountain Terrace. This decision follows findings from city staff that deemed the building unsafe. The city will recover demolition costs through a lien on the property, ensuring that taxpayers are not burdened by the expenses. This action is part of ongoing efforts to maintain neighborhood safety and property values.

In another important resolution, the council supported a municipal setting designation application for a property on Grapevine Highway. This designation, required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, will inform residents about the non-drinkability of groundwater in the area, promoting public health and safety.

Additionally, the council approved funding for the fiftieth-year Community Development Block Grant project on Ponderosa Drive. This project will involve concrete pavement improvements, enhancing the infrastructure and overall quality of life for residents. The total project cost is estimated at $500,000, with the city covering expenses beyond the $170,000 grant from Tarrant County.

The meeting also included the approval of a special events permit for Graco Incorporated to host a small promotional event at Northeast Mall, further supporting local businesses and community engagement.

Lastly, the council made several appointments to various boards and committees, reflecting a commitment to involving community members in local governance.

These decisions underscore the council's dedication to improving Hurst's infrastructure, ensuring public safety, and fostering community involvement. As these projects move forward, residents can expect tangible benefits that enhance their quality of life.
