Forney
Texas
City Of Forney
Mission:
Working together to build a sense of community in a safe environment, while attracting quality growth in a family-oriented atmosphere.
About Us:
Thirty minutes east of Dallas on Route 80, Forney may seem like just one more town on the way out of town—but to the tens of thousands who live in and around it, it’s more: it’s Forney Country. This community is defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values its people hold dear. Forney strives to balance its pioneering past with a forward-thinking vision of the future—maintaining a vibrant, family-centered lifestyle, helping entrepreneurs reinvent its historic downtown, continuing to invest in new parks, trails and roads, and attracting the amenities its growing population demands. Forney is known for its nationally recognized schools, attractive housing prices, and down-to-earth people. Those who call it home are independent, friendly, and caring—quick to rally around one of their own in need. Forney draws like-minded people to itself, and beckons those who’ve left to return. Forney is an American original—a city without limits.
