We believe this will have a generational impact and lead the future of green infrastructure design.

Big News for a Greener, Safer, and Healthier Texas!

The Texas Trees Foundation is thrilled to announce a $25 million investment from the State of Texas to support the Southwestern Medical District Transformation Project – a visionary public-private initiative to reimagine over two miles of the Harry Hines Corridor in the heart of Dallas’s medical district.

Thanks to legislative champions like State Senator Royce West, Representative Rafael Anchía, Senator Tan Parker, Representatives Morgan Meyer and Angie Chen Button, State Representative Venton Jones and others, this funding accelerates a bold plan to:

Advance critical infrastructure
Combat urban heat with 4,000+ trees
Enhance public health and safety
Create an 8-acre Green Park oasis
Deliver over $1.69 billion in economic impact

Together, we’re turning the Southwestern Medical District into a healthier, safer, and more economically thriving area with our partners at the City of Dallas - City Hall, Dallas County, North Central Texas Council of Governments, Southwestern Medical District, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Children's Medical Center Dallas, Parkland Health, Field Operations, Hyphae Design Laboratory, MIG, Kimley-Horn, Terrapin Bright Green, DRW Planning, and Rise360Consulting. This isn’t just an investment—it’s a game-changer for Dallas, and a model for the nation.

Water is essential. Just to write that seems absurd because we all know it. Yet millions go daily without access to clean, potable water. Having served in several overseas projects providing access to clean water, I've learned first-hand the difference this direct access can make in a life, a village, and a country. If you are looking for a great way to support your fellow human in gaining the most basic need, I recommend supporting Rotary International's efforts for clean water.
