FORNEY — The Regional Transportation Council has voted unanimously to allocate $9 million of a $78 million Kaufman County transportation package for the construction of the new Forney Parkway. These funds, together with the approval of the City of Forney and owners of the adjacent property Meadow Ridge Farms, complete the public funding portion of the public/private partnership. The Forney Parkway will be a multi-lane thoroughfare connecting FM 548 on the north to FM 1641 on the south. The 2.2-mile road will feature an above-grade, eight-lane interchange spanning S.H. 80 and the adjacent Union Pacific rail line.
