NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas — North Richland Hills Mayor Oscar Trevino says he’s not seeking re-election after his term ends in May. Trevino was first elected mayor in 2002 and as a city council member in 1999.
“I am incredibly grateful for the residents of North Richland Hills and the trust they have bestowed in me to represent them for a quarter century. While DFW has become the 4th largest metropolitan area in the country and North Richland Hills has grown from 55,000 to over 70,000 residents during my time in office, our city continues to be a family-friendly community and a wonderful place to call home,” Trevino said in a statement. “I am proud of the work we have done together to manage the growth and improve North Richland Hills.”
During Trevino’s tenure, the city built a new library recreation center, senior center, animal shelter, police station, fire stations and city hall, along with more than 20 parks and trails and improvements to Iron Horse Golf Course and NRH2O Family Water Park and an expansion of the police and fire departments.
“We have weathered recessions and a pandemic and come back stronger, with the retail vacancy rate down to 6.3%, the lowest since 2004,” Trevino wrote.
