Municipal Complex - In 2019, as part of the City's updated 2020 Comprehensive Plan,
a Citizen Committee recommended a new Municipal Complex to replace several
municipal buildings, and to act as an anchor for a proposed downtown development. The
existing municipal buildings are aging and have mechanical issues, electrical problems,
ADA non-compliance and other challenges. In May 2021, voters approved the general
obligation bond election to fund the design and construction of a new two-story,
approximately 35,000 square-foot Benbrook Municipal Complex to house the Police
Station, Senior Citizen's Center, Municipal Court, City Hall Offices, and a Visitor's Center.
In March 2022, City Council awarded the Municipal Complex professional design and pre-

Construction. Construction began in November 2022 with an anticipated projection
completion date in late Summer 2024.

Medical Services for the City of Benbrook and a portion of southwest Tarrant County.

replacement plan to rotate out the oldest ambulance from service once every two years.
In past bi-annual cycles, the City has always been awarded a $75,000 Ambulance
Replacement Grant toward the purchase of each new ambulance from the Tarrant County
Emergency Services District (TCESD). FY 2021-22, TCESD, using the American Rescue
