RJ Williams & Company Real Estate is proud to recognize Laura Kelley, a respected agent and mentor within the brokerage, on her appointment to the City of Fort Worth’s City Plan Commission representing District 10.
According to City of Fort Worth board records, Kelley was appointed by the Mayor and City Council to serve a partial term beginning February 10, 2026, and continuing through October 1, 2026. Her appointment places her in an important civic role at a time when Fort Worth continues to experience significant growth, development activity, and ongoing planning demands across the city.
Kelley’s appointment came while Alan Blaylock represented District 10 on the Fort Worth City Council. Since that appointment, District 10 has entered a new chapter. Following Blaylock’s departure from the council, Chris Jamieson was sworn in as the new District 10 council representative to serve the remainder of the term. That transition gives Kelley’s service added relevance as Fort Worth continues working through major questions tied to infrastructure, development, land use, and long-range planning.
The City Plan Commission plays a meaningful role in shaping Fort Worth’s future. The commission has final approval authority over subdivision plats and also serves as an advisory body to the City Council on matters related to public improvements and planning. In practice, that means the commission helps review development-related requests, plats, replats, subdivision matters, and other issues that affect how land is organized, how infrastructure aligns with growth, and how the city balances expansion with long-term community needs.
That responsibility matters for every part of Fort Worth. The commission’s work influences how new neighborhoods take shape, how property is prepared for future use, how development moves through the city process, and how planning decisions support transportation, utilities, public improvements, and orderly growth. In a city as dynamic as Fort Worth, those decisions carry real importance for residents, property owners, businesses, and the broader real estate community.
Kelley brings a valuable perspective to the role. As a real estate professional, she understands firsthand how housing, land use, neighborhood growth, and consumer needs intersect in everyday life. As a mentor and trusted leader within RJ Williams & Company Real Estate, she also brings a service-minded approach that reflects both professionalism and a genuine commitment to people.
“We are so proud of Laura and her new appointment to the City Plan Commission,” said Ty Williams, broker and founder of RJ Williams & Company Real Estate. “Laura truly has a giving heart and a passion for taking care of her clients, not only in the world of real estate, but also in the city that she loves, Fort Worth. I know that she will make a difference and help guide the city in the right direction. Congratulations, Commissioner Kelley.”
Kelley’s appointment reflects the importance of having knowledgeable local professionals serve in civic leadership positions. Fort Worth benefits when people with real-world experience, strong community ties, and a thoughtful understanding of development and property issues help evaluate decisions that will shape the city for years to come.
Her selection to the City Plan Commission is both a professional milestone and a public-service achievement. It reflects the trust placed in her judgment, character, and commitment to the community she serves.
RJ Williams & Company Real Estate congratulates Commissioner Laura Kelley on this well-deserved appointment and looks forward to the impact of her service on behalf of District 10 and the City of Fort Worth.
