By Emily Wolf, Fort Worth Report April 25, 2022 Less than a week after JD Granger announced his departure from the Tarrant Regional Water District, he is set to rejoin the district in a new capacity as a consultant in May. Dan Buhman, general manager for the water district, said the February appropriation of $403 million to complete part of the Panther Island project makes it essential to "leverage all available resources to ensure the project's success." To that end, the district has agreed to a six-month consulting contract with Granger's newly formed LLC, JD Granger Group. Granger's LLC will provide institutional knowledge and strategic input, as well as support on project management as various Panther Island initiatives move forward, Buhman said. "Further, as Panther Island begins to transform and develop as the new bypass channel is built, TRWD will identify consulting services that will be crucial as we move forward with selling land that is surplus to the project's construction needs," he said. "We will work with this consultant to plan for the sale of land tracts to the private sector for development that follows the vision for Panther Island." To read the full article, click here.
