If it works, Trinity Uptown/Panther Island could become one of the hottest waterfront developments in the U.S. The plan calls for rechanneling the Trinity River near downtown Fort Worth, creating an 800-acre island ready for development of commercial and mixed-income residential. But the Trinity River Vision Authority plan relies heavily on federal funding, and Congress shows no signs of lifting its ban on earmarks for projects such as this. Is the project just getting its sea legs, or already dead in the water? (Video and editing by Gordon Dickson/Star-Telegram, Sept. 13, 2013)
