Forney, Texas Construction & Development News

Forney, Texas construction and development continues to accelerate as Dallas-Fort Worth growth pushes farther east into Kaufman County. From restaurants and retailers to housing, commercial projects and infrastructure improvements, Texas Construction Media is tracking what’s being planned and built across Forney.

We follow projects from the earliest stages — including permits, filings and site plans — through groundbreaking, construction and grand opening. When a new restaurant starts building, a retailer announces plans or another major development begins taking shape, we’re following the story.

Forney sits along U.S. 80 about 23 miles east of Dallas, giving the community a direct connection to employment and development across the larger Metroplex. I-20 lies just south of the city, while FM 548 and other local corridors connect rapidly growing neighborhoods with Forney’s expanding commercial areas. The city itself began as a railroad community, making transportation an important part of its story long before modern suburban growth arrived.

Today, thousands of new residents are creating demand for more shopping, dining, services and employment closer to home. The city is actively working to expand its retail and business base while investing in roads, parks and other infrastructure needed to support continued growth. Historic downtown Forney is also part of that evolution, with local entrepreneurs and reinvestment helping give the older center of the community a new role alongside newer development corridors.
