Fort Worth Construction and the rest of the large metropolitan cities in Texas such as Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio are seeing significant growth. It is a much welcomed growth due to the modest gains over the past few years since the housing crash in 2008. Texas was not hit near as hard as other countries in the United States during that same time period, but it did take a big hit on the home construction industry as well as commercial.
All 5 of the major Texas cities are in the top 15 in new residents for large metropolitan areas. A lot of that growth is seen because Texas has a large diverse job creation. What comes to mind first for most people when they think of Jobs in Texas is of course the Energy Sector, which of course is very important, but just a small part of the entire picture.

As a co-owner of The Floor Barn, a home flooring and remodeling company, I have seen first hand the stagnate nature of the Fort Worth Construction industry. But in 2012 we have seen a lot of good signs that it has gone over the hump to continue to recovery, of course as long as this Fiscal Cliff situation gets taken care of in time before the public and Wall Street lose confidence which could then make a dent in that momentum we have gained over the past year.

Here is an excellent article in the Star Telegram that goes into more detail of the Population growth. You will see that Texas has 427,000 new residents:
