While city and Tarrant County leaders have championed the project, others have remained skeptical.

The story is a collaboration between the Fort Worth Report and the San Antonio Report, two independent, local nonprofit and nonpartisan news organizations. Reporters from both organizations reviewed hundreds of pages of documents and interviewed about two dozen officials, civic leaders and historians in both cities about where the two rivers' histories align and diverge.

In response, nonprofits LVTRise and Cougar Pride Alliance come together to provide supplies, clean clothes, hygiene products and food for students in the neighborhood.

Martin, Butler and RJ Moilan are recipients of such support and credit the community rallying behind them as part of their success. They are looking forward to a future in a new state, with new friends, new experiences and a new opportunity to play the sport they love, said RJ Moilan, who plays center.

The City of Fort Worth contracted with Synagro in 2019 to design, build and operate a new Biosolids Processing Facility. After three years, now, it's open.

The facility's grand opening was Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022, and Synagro engineers gave Fort Worth residents, business-owners, and city councilmembers a tour of the brand new facility.

The facility will produce Biosolids, which are a nutrient-rich product of the wastewater treatment process, and come from the processing and treatment of human waste. The use of biosolids can improve a crop's yield, limit the use of pollutants, and even limit water usage, as biosolids limit runoff.

But - residents living near areas where biosolids are employed have complained about the smell for years. According to Synagro and the City of Fort Worth, thi...
