6-5-09: KLABZUBA PROPERTIES BUYS RIVERBEND TECH CENTER
Located in far northeast Fort Worth just south of Trinity Blvd, the Riverbend Tech Center contains 400,000 square-feet of office and warehouse space. A casualty of the current economic times, the previous out-of-state owners lost the property and it sold at auction this week to Klabzuba Properties (pronounced CLAB-zu-bah). Former longtime residents of Meadowbrook, Robert and wife Doris Klabzuba are known for their business acumen and philanthropic efforts For more information: KLABZUBA

3-27-09: RED LIGHT CAMERAS IN MEADOWBROOK
Be aware that red light traffic cameras are now installed at two intersections in our area: Beach Street and Scott Avenue, E. Lancaster and Riverside. Fines start at $75! Of course, we shouldn't be running red lights anywhere but heads up at those two intersections or your wallet will be a little lighter. RED LIGHT SAFETY CAMERAS

2-25-9: OAKLAND LAKE PARK AND TANDY HILLS GRANTS PROCEED TO CITY COUNCIL
The Parks Advisory Board has approved grants for both Oakland Lake Park and the Tandy Hills Nature Area. Final approval will be given by City Council soon. Much needed water fountains, sidewalk repair and new trash receptacles will hopefully soon be coming to Oakland Lake Park.

1-6-09: "OAKLAND CORNERS VILLAGE" APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL
After much hard work by the WMNA, the Eastside Sector Alliance and Council Rep Kathleen Hicks, the City Council approved an NEZ designation for the area around Oakland Blvd and Lancaster. The "Neighborhood Empowerment Zone" provides tax incentives for commercial and residential development in this important intersection and surrounding blocks.
