3 THE COUNTY TARRANT COUNTY TARRANT COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING URBAN COUNTIES IN THE UNITED STATES. The County Tarrant County is located in the western end of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in north central Texas. Fort Worth serves as the county seat to a population of approximately 1.8 million citizens. Much of the flavor and attitudes that are the history of Tarrant County live on today. The frontier has changed; the pioneering spirit remains.. Tarrant County is now home to a diverse spectrum of businesses and lifestyles. Cattle and agriculture, as well as aerospace companies, defense contractors and educational institutions, play a major role in the economic and cultural foundation of the county. Tarrant County s western heritage sits side by side with its internationally renowned Cultural District. With such a diverse mix of styles, there is never a lack of things to do and see. Once dependent on defense plants and its military base, Tarrant County s economy has been transformed into one of the most vibrant and diverse in the nation and is leading the regional resurgence in business relocations and expansions, retail development and new housing construction. Once tied to the oil rigs and cattle ranches of west Texas, Tarrant County s businesses today reach around the globe, and the county s commercial and industrial airports are among the country s foremost international gateways. Board of Trustees A publicly elected governing board of seven Trustees, serving staggered six-year terms, works collaboratively with the chancellor to ensure excellence and accountability. TCC s highly engaged Board of Trustees will actively manage both the search for and selection of the College s new chancellor.
