Current Brownfields Projects

Lucky Lady Oil Corporation

Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments were conducted in 2012 at 107 NW 28th Street through an EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant process to facilitate the acquisition of the property by a third party. At the time of the assessments, the property was the headquarters for Lucky Lady Oil Corporation which had operated at that location since 1992. Prior to Lucky Lady Oil, the property was occupied by various fueling truck stop services dating back to 1948. The site structures were built in 1948 and Garrett's Truck Center was the first documented commercial enterprise on the property. Garrett's included a restaurant and hotel in the same building as the current Lucky Lady Oil offices. Garrett's was a popular truck stop in the 1950s when the nearby stockyards were very active and trucks hauling livestock to be traded were prevalent.

UCC-Bethlehem Project

A Phase II environmental site assessment was conducted in 2012 for the UCC-Bethlehem project using EPA Brownfields assessment grant funds. This project consists of 13 contiguous properties along Humbolt Street at Evans Avenue owned by the City of Fort Worth. The specific addresses are 951 and 957 Evans Avenue and 908-962 (even) E. Humbolt Street. This area is an extension of the previous development in the Evans-Rosedale area and 951 Evans is a potential location for a future police station.

A single story building (4,756 square feet) constructed around 1926 still stands at 951 Evans Avenue. This unoccupied building was most recently used as a church facility by the Compassionate Church of God. Other previous businesses on the Evans Avenue frontage included a gasoline service station and dry cleaners. One residential structure remains on an interior residential lot at 916 E. Humbolt St.

Redevelopment planning continues for the site.
