Innovative Approaches to Solving Arlington's Complex Planning Issues.

Meet Rebecca

Rebecca Boxall was born and raised in Groves, Texas and earned a degree in Architecture from Texas Tech in 1985. Rebecca spent the first 20 years of her career as a successful small business owner in Hawaii, where she solved complex building and long range planning issues for institutions that aren't unlike those in Arlington: requiring innovative approaches to working within limited land space and stringent building codes to create aesthetically-pleasing, environmentally-conscious, projects. Rebecca moved back to Texas in 2007, choosing Arlington as her home because it had a small-town feeling with some big town amenities.

It wasn't long before she became involved in neighborhood organizations and city committees. Most notably, she served on Arlington's Comprehensive Master Plan committee, which establishes long-term goals and anticipates challenges as the city develops and grows. She was appointed to Arlington's Planning and Zoning Commission in 2019 and is the immediate past-president of the Heart of Arlington Neighborhood Association.

Throughout her life, Rebecca has maintained a commitment to service and leadership. She served as a volunteer mentor for young women at Carter Jr. High in Arlington and previously served on the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Downtown Arlington Management Corporation Board. Rebecca was a member of the Fort Worth Women in Architecture and the Daughters of the Texas Republic.

Rebecca wants to represent District 5 on the City Council because she is passionate about its unique characteristics, its diverse population, and its opportunities. Rebecca describes District 5 as a rare gem that's waiting to be rediscovered. District 5 encompasses historic neighborhoods, the downtown district, a thriving university, rare urban wooded landscapes, and more. The area has undergone many changes in recent years, and more changes will come. Rebecca's experience as a long-time resident, forward-thinking architect, and member of various city planning boards will help shape the district's long-term viability and adaptability.

Rebecca is the proud mother of an adult daughter and lives with her husband, Don, in the historic Mill Creek Estates neighborhood in the heart of District 5.
