During the Planning & Zoning meeting on January 2nd, officials provided important updates regarding the anticipated Costco development in Forney.
Construction for the Costco is scheduled to break ground in April, with projections indicating that the project will take approximately one year to complete. However, local residents have raised concerns about the current road infrastructure at the intersection of FM 460 and Highway 80, which may not adequately support the increase in traffic expected from the new store.

Additionally, the commission confirmed that the Costco will not open until after the completion of a new bridge, which is contingent upon the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT). There are varying estimates regarding the bridge's completion timeline. An engineer representing Costco mentioned that TXDOT had indicated a potential completion date of Fall 2025, while other sources suggest it could be delayed until the end of 2026.
Developers have made it clear that the Costco WILL NOT open before the new bridge is completed, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure readiness before the store's launch.
As the community awaits these developments, many are left wondering which will be completed first: the Costco or the bridge.
Either way, the future of Forney is looking bright with Costco leading the way among new developments in 2025, and the City, County and TXDOT all moving forward with road infrastructure improvements
