FORT WORTH – A multi-million dollar turnaround for a troubled motel property and neighborhood is on the table this week for leaders in Tarrant County and Fort Worth.

Approval for the first $8 million to buy and renovate the Express Inn in Fort Worth's Las Vegas Trail neighborhood, is expected Tuesday from Tarrant County commissioners. Fort Worth's city council will hear a report on the project as well Tuesday, with a vote on committing $2 million expected next month.

The project would turn the 83-room motel along I-30 into 55 units of permanent housing, called Casa de Suenos. Low-income families, victims of domestic violence and people who are homeless, could all find permanent supportive housing in the development.
