JPS Health Network hospital expansion underway

Officials with John Peter Smith Health Network, along with Fort Worth and Tarrant County officeholders, broke ground on a brand-new 1.1 million-square-foot hospital April 16, starting the final construction project of a massive overhaul to the Fort Worth-based hospital network.

The overview: The new and updated facility will expand the hospital capacity for Tarrant County residents and bring advanced clinical technology to campus, according to a hospital news release.

“We are building more than a hospital,” said D.T. Nguyen, chair of the JPS board of managers. “We are building a promise that never closes its door: A promise that every person who walks through those doors will be treated with dignity and compassion.”

The new hospital will be at the corner of South Main and East Morphy streets in Fort Worth and is expected to open in 2030.

Chalk & Steel Co. to bring indoor entertainment venue to Keller

A specific use permit for an indoor entertainment facility that will feature billiards and darts was approved by Keller City Council during the June 16 meeting.

The details: The proposed plans for Chalk & Steel Co. will host billiards and darts leagues for adults and youth, along with tournaments, clinics, summer camps and winter camps for kids, and private lessons for pool and darts.

David Parron, the business' co-owner, said they will have soft-tip dart machines that will allow players in Keller to compete against other competitors across the United States. There will be a heavy focus on amateur play, he said.

The background: The applicants asked for the hours of operation to be 2 p.m.-2 a.m., Monday to Friday and from 11-2 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. 

“This is far from nightlife, and we did that on purpose," co-owner Jonna Parron said. "We want your 5-year-old [to come in.] We want your 99-year-old-plus grandma and grandpa to come in, and we want everybody feeling safe.”
