Episode Details

Starting October 1, the Will Rogers Memorial Center is getting a major makeover—with city management handed over to Gendy Street Management, a powerhouse team backed by major Fort Worth events and venues. Having already poured $77 million into the historic site, they’re ready to tackle its $10 million annual deficit and urgent repairs. The city’s betting on this public-private partnership to boost efficiency, slash costs, and keep the 90-year-old landmark thriving. With 68 city staff able to transition with protected benefits, and a 10-year deal (plus extensions) that includes $8 million in Year 1 funding and $12K monthly management fees, the plan is clear: reinvest savings back into the venue to ensure Will Rogers powers through its next century.
