ARLINGTON, Va.--Jeff Williams, former mayor of Arlington, is the recipient of the sixth annual Dream Builder award.
The award was presented by Texas Trust Credit Union during the Downtown Arlington Management Corporation annual meeting.
In addition to leading Arlington as mayor for two consecutive terms, Williams has played an integral role shaping the community for more than 30 years. Prior to being elected mayor he led two significant bond elections – both passed with wide margins – and was part of the Arlington Comprehensive Planning Committee.
As president of Arlington-based Graham Associates, Williams has heavily influenced the city through work on high-profile projects such as AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Park, River Legacy Living Science Center, the Parks Mall, Viridian development, the I.H. 30 Three Bridges Project, and the Richard Greene Linear Park.
“Jeff Williams has helped make Arlington a dream city not only where people from all over the world have settled to raise families and start businesses, but a vacation destination with attractions and venues that offer world-class entertainment,” said Debi Knoblock, Assistant Vice President for Business and Community Engagement at Texas Trust.
