WASHINGTON - Fort Worth stands to gain $1.35 million to help develop its Trinity River Vision plan under a $27 billion energy and water appropriations bill approved Tuesday by the House.

"The Trinity River Vision could be the most important project since D/FW Airport and the downtown master plan," said Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth. "Transforming a city is not an exaggeration when describing this project."

The Trinity River Vision includes major commercial and recreational development along the river in downtown Fort Worth.
