Frazier Revitalization Inc. was created by the Foundation for Community Empowerment in 2005 to spearhead implementation of a comprehensive, resident-driven plan for the 1,100-acre Frazier neighborhood in South Dallas.  FRI has engaged neighborhood residents, the city of Dallas and Dallas Area Rapid Transit, corporations, banks, cultural institutions, developers, and brokers to participate in the revitalization effort.  Given the neighborhood’s proximity to downtown and the planned DART line, FRI’s leaders believe that a relatively modest initial investment in housing and commercial structures can create enough momentum.
