EFWBA donated over $5,000 for library books for the elementary schools in the Eastern Hill HS pyramid.
Most of our member businesses are owned by native Fort Worth eastsiders who actively promote this area.
EFWBA helps bring new businesses and new construction development to East Fort Worth.
For 49 years, EFWBA has actively advocated for East Fort Worth.
We invite every business owner, professional person, firm, corporation or non-profit organization, to join us for our monthly meetings where you will meet other business owners, individuals and city officials that influence our lives.
The mission is still the same today for this long-lived organization. It was founded in 1974 as a 501(c)4 so that it could be involved in non-partisan political issues. Working with the neighborhoods and Fort Worth City Government offices for the betterment of East Fort Worth sometimes leads to involvement in the political arena.
I hope you join us at our next meeting.
Mike Shedd, President, 2022

In August we have Public Improvement District Number 20 joining us for their annual meeting. PID 20 is the East Lancaster Avenue Public Improvement District, and they will be providing a report on the status of the PID and what is happening on Lancaster Avenue.
At that meeting you'll get an opportunity to meet the new PID director Katie Walz and hear from Security Director Scott Westmoreland.
We might have an opportunity to bring another speaker into that meeting but we're hoping that the Public Improvement District is interesting enough to bring out our members.
As the East Side Transportation Plan moves forward and property values go up, the PID will be vital for ensuring the vision comes together.
