Who is FRI?
FRI is a grassroots organization dedicated to the complete economic revitalization of Far East Dallas; Casa Linda/Forest Hills, Greater Casa View, White Rock East and White Rock Hills. Founded in 1998 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, our community is framed by Garland Road to I-635 to La Prada to I-30 to White Rock Creek. Our mission is “to transform Far East Dallas into a safe, beautiful, prosperous and proud community by inspiring hope and working together to achieve a shared vision.”
And now, FRI has launched its ambitious Economic Development Strategy that includes the White Rock Hills Recreation Center, construction proposed for 2020 at Highland/Ferguson Roads. We are nurturing a vision of an urban village, a place of safety and beauty where people want to live and raise their families. Our vision is to create a place in our city with a unique identity and character; a place with tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and bustling small retail. We want to create a stable and healthy community that is both ethnically and economically diverse with an engaged faith community dedicated to serving not only their congregations, but the community in which they are located. We encourage our residents to support our area businesses and to “live locally” through our FRI Community Connection Program.
