The Growth Ledger

Week of Sept. 18, 2026. Edition 1.

The Growth Ledger is the weekly record of what is being built, decided and taxed in the Weatherford ISD footprint. This first edition is built from the Aug. 25, 2026 council minutes, the district's Sept. 14 tax-rate notice, the Comptroller's sales-tax and permit datasets and the state's construction registry. Rows are pulled from the government sources linked in each row and checked by an editor before publication.
