City of Duncanville

When reflecting on the development of Duncanville, Texas, few individuals embody the city’s growth and grit quite like Bill Willborn. His career, spanning more than three decades, mirrors the transformation of Duncanville from a small community of roughly 10,000 residents into a more developed and resilient city. Through leadership, technical expertise, and a willingness to face challenges head-on—sometimes quite literally—Willborn left a lasting imprint on the city’s infrastructure and identity.
