The top stories this afternoon from KERA News: Fort Worth’s Zoning Commission voted Wednesday afternoon to draw an expansive historic overlay district to protect the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards.
The decision isn’t binding, it’s ultimately up to the city council. The designation could have a big impact on the Stockyards.
No school kids are involved, but 500 Dallas school employees are moving out of a district building after tests showed lead and other dangerous substances in the water.
