Forest Forward works to foster sustainable urban development, improve quality of life, and enhance the overall well-being of residents. One of the key initiatives of Forest Forward is the restoration of the Forest Theater. Originally opened in 1949, the Forest Theater is a cultural landmark in South Dallas. Forest Forward is leading the revitalization effort to preserve the theater's architecture, upgrade its facilities with modern technology, and enhance its sound, lighting, and audiovisual equipment. The goal is to transform the theater into a vibrant center for arts, education, and social engagement. The theater will stimulate the local economy by creating jobs and promoting tourism through the presence of well-maintained cultural landmarks and events. Forest Forward will develop mixed-use housing that combines residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, fostering a dynamic community environment. Forest Forward is dedicated to creating a livable, resilient, and vibrant South Dallas, ensuring the community thrives both now and in the future.
