Hotel Feasibility Study

Due to a lack of adequate hotel room availability within the City of Azle, the Municipal Development District (MDD) commissioned an analysis of the current hotel market and demand to determine the feasibility of adding another hotel within the city. In June 2016, David Parker with DP Consulting performed a thorough market analysis and submitted a report to the MDD.

Retail Development & Merchandising Plan

In 2011, Catalyst Commercial was retained by the City of Azle to perform a market analysis with the purpose of identifying demand and potential tenants for the City of Azle. The results of the Merchandising Plan are reflective of current market trends within the trade area, site criteria and the vision of the City of Azle. The intent of this effort was to ensure that further development within Azle would be consistent with market and economic reality and alight with the internal objective of the City’s stakeholders.

Azle Downtown Plan

In 2009, the City of Azle retained the professional services of GSBS Architects to study a 200 acre section of Downtown Azle, bordered by the southern intersection of Main Street and State Highway 199 (SH199), SH199 Frontage Road to the northern intersection of SH199 and Main Street, along Azle Highway to the east bank of Ash Creek to south Stewart Street and back to Main.

In preparation for the study, meetings were held with property and business owners, not-for-profit organizations, Chamber of Commerce representatives and Azle ISD officials to gain knowledge of their vision for the future of Main Street.
