Buxton Executive Recognized for Business and Civic Contributions

FORT WORTH, Texas – Joe Fackel, senior vice president of Buxton’s CommunityID division, northern region, was named to the 40 Under 40 list last month by the Fort Worth Business Press. The annual 40 Under 40 event honors select men and women shaping the future through their business and civic contributions in the Fort Worth area.

A Buxton employee for more than six years, Joe oversees the region’s territory business managers, who build relationships with community leaders throughout the northern United States. CommunityID has helped more than 350 communities nationwide attract appropriate retail development, which increases sales and property tax funding for the city, creates new jobs and satisfies residents’ desires to shop at home.

“Since Joe came to Buxton, he has made a continual and tremendous impact,” says CEO Tom Buxton. “He is a take-charge leader and is an integral part of the growth of Buxton.”
An expert in matching appropriate retailers to communities, Fackel is in demand as a speaker and consultant.

He has made presentations to regional and national organizations, including the National League of Cities, the International City/County Management Association and the Texas Municipal League.
Outside of work, Fackel is actively involved in the community. He volunteers with the Big Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Light The Night and Alice B. Carlson Applied Learning Center counselor.
