<\/p>\nThe Brief<\/p>\n
Downtown Fort Worth has launched a visual “glow-up” with art installations, 3D murals, and international flags to welcome fans for the FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
A comprehensive city safety plan features “staff surging” on match days, deploying 100 dedicated police personnel across eight security teams.<\/p>\n
In-person court proceedings will be limited during the event so that bailiffs and deputies can be reassigned to protect City Hall and critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“On match days when we expect more crowds to be in certain areas to watch games, then we will certainly make sure that staffing, from a citywide perspective, is available as well.”<\/p>\n
