Trivia Question: What was the original economic development project that spurred the creation of the Fort Worth Board of Trade, which later became the Chamber?
If you said getting T&P and Santa Fe railroads, and completing the rail line from Dallas to Fort Worth in 1876 – you’re right!
Railroads are still a big part of Fort Worth business. BNSF Railway, headquartered in Fort Worth and owned by Berkshire Hathaway, employs more than 3,000 here. Heading the corporation is Matt Rose, chairman and CEO, who will address members at the next Leaders in Business luncheon about what’s on the horizon for the company, as well as Tower 55 construction, imports, logistics and leadership.
