Deputy Director of Development Services
City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mackenzie Eason & Associates has been retained by the City of Fort Worth to recruit the City’s first Deputy Director of Development Services. Created to meet the demands of unprecedented growth and to accelerate a bold 2029 Strategic Plan, this newly established position offers a rare chance to weave culture, technology, and policy into a single, high‑impact agenda.
Shape the growth of America’s fastest‑growing big city while building a “Yes‑First” culture that makes development both predictable and personal.
The City and the Department
Fort Worth has surged past a million residents and is still adding almost 20,000 new neighbors each year. That explosive growth keeps the Development Services Department (DSD) at the center of the City’s economic engine. A 240‑person team guides every plat, permit and inspection—and has been ranked #1 in Texas amongst 1200 cities by Texas Businesses in verified reviews on the economic development platform Scout. Fort Worth ranked the highest in two categories: “Speed of Permitting” and “Speed of Zoning.” (4.0 of 5 for both). The only city to reach above 4 stars in these categories.
