DALLAS REGIONAL CHAMBER | Letter from the President

leTTeR FRom The PResiDenT

the Dallas Regional chamber welcomes you and your company to the DFW region. This region is an innovation hub with a wealth of resources that make it an ideal business climate. The DFW region’s attractive quality of life, expanding economy, low cost of living, young and skilled labor force, favorable business climate, and absence of heavy business and personal taxes all contribute to the thriving DFW location. Forward looking companies, seeking a friendly and profitable place to do business, are discovering our numerous benefits. DFW is a major international gateway due to its central location and world-class transportation infrastructure. The region excels in passenger air travel and air cargo operations with the World’s third busiest airport,

DFW International Airport, and has the world’s

first 100 percent industrial airport, Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Our roads and rail lines are remarkable for delivery of freight products across the country. This is why the region ranks among the top three U.S. metropolitan areas for business expansions, relocations and employment growth. DFW’s young, highly educated workforce of almost three million people is growing quickly, providing businesses with the abundance of talent they need to make their business a success.

You’ve heard the phrase “Everything’s bigger in Texas”? That includes the Dallas–Fort Worth region, whose combined footprint is larger than some U.S. states. Dallas–Fort Worth is the nation’s fourthlargest metro area, conveniently positioned in the middle of the United States and offering competitive advantages to businesses that locate here. The region’s central location allows it to function as a logistics and distribution hub, giving businesses an edge by putting key markets within easy reach by both truck and Mineral Wells rail shipping. For business travelers, the region’s midcontinent location means saving time on travel—any major U.S. city is less than four 20 hours away.

Collin County Regional

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system, which includes light rail and bus service, is the nation’s fastest-growing network, enabling easy access to key job centers in Dallas and its suburbs. DART’s expansion includes future links to Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport. DART also interfaces with the Trinity Rail Express (TRE), a commuter train, to transport passengers between downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, with stops at several “mid-cities” suburbs in between. Fort Worth residents are served by the T, which also connects to the TRE. The region’s robust interstate infrastructure provides easy links along the NAFTA corridor, linking Mexico to Canada and to East and West Coast destinations, making it an important intermodal center for the distribution of air, rail, and truck freight. The nation’s two largest railroads, Fort Worth–based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. and Union Pacific Corp., have major operation nodes in the region, offering business-efficient access to other key ports and distributions centers across the United States and into Mexico.

Commuting Patterns

Getting To Work WIsE 51%

Getting around the Dallas–Fort Worth region is easy, thanks to a well-developed network of interstate freeways, state highways, and tollways connecting job centers to fast-growing new communities. That’s good news for employers, allowing them to draw from a larger base of skilled workers. And it’s good for workers, allowing them to choose from a variety of affordable communities in which to live. In Dallas and Tarrant Counties, the vast majority of workers work and live in the same county. Though these two counties also serve as the region’s biggest magnets for workers, the surrounding counties maintain strong job bases of their own to support the community.

DFW international airport Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport is an economic engine for the region, generating $16.6 billion in economic impact annually. Built in 1974, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, it is the highest-capacity commercial airport in the world and one of two international gateway airports in Texas. As a major hub of Fort Worth–based American Airlines, DFW Airport offers business travelers a high-frequency schedule and access to any major city in the continental United States in less than four hours. Cargo operations, which grew to 628,000 tons in 2009, serve 13 major markets around the world, including several key markets in Asia. The airport completed a $2.7 billion capital development program in 2005, including a Skylink airport train providing quick service between all terminals and a fifth terminal that is built for international travelers. Dallas love Field Located just seven miles from downtown Dallas, Dallas Love Field is a convenient general-use airport that serves as the headquarters for low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines. The airport, which served more than 7.7 million passengers in 2009, is undergoing a $519 million renovation, including a centralized terminal with 20 gates, a new lobby, and an expanded baggage claim area. Flight restrictions, which currently limit nonstop service on mainline jets to destinations in Texas and nearby states, will be lifted in 2014, allowing domestic long-haul service on any aircraft.

By the numbers:

Denton 122,830

The DFW Metropolitan Statistical Area population is larger than the combined populations of Nevada, Wyoming, Maine, Delaware and Rhode Island.

During the last decade, the Dallas–Fort Worth region was among the nation’s fastest-growing areas, attracting significant job growth and population. The population growth has fueled real estate development, as retailers and service providers expand to meet increasing demand. The growth has pushed Dallas and Fort Worth to redevelop and reenergize their downtowns, creating mixed-use buildings with residential, office, and retail space and a high-end urban environment. While Dallas and Fort Worth serve as the biggest population centers, four other suburbs—Irving, Garland, Plano, and Arlington—exceed 200,000, offering residents an abundance of choice as they search for the community that best fits their needs.

Dallas is well positioned to grow despite most of its developable land having already been occupied. The city’s tax increment financing districts encourage mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development of higher densities. a residential boom in uptown and the central Business District provide for mid-and high-rise urban living that was previously in limited supply in North Texas.

Demographic Metro to Metro Comparisons With regard to key demographics, Dallas– Fort Worth competes favorably with other world-class metropolitan areas across the United States, with a well-educated workforce. Its central location gives it easy access to key markets on both coasts, without the higher prices and congestion of more traditional corporate markets such as Chicago, but with more depth than other fastgrowing markets such as Denver or Phoenix. The region’s low cost of living means residents can enjoy a higher standard of living on a lower median household income than in many other large markets located on the East or West coast.

Employers in Dallas–Fort Worth draw from a well-educated and skilled workforce throughout the 15-county region. A robust network of interstate highways, state highways, and tollways makes it easy for workers to navigate the area, keeping commute times low for major employment centers surrounding the Dallas and Fort Worth city centers. The region’s relatively low cost of living means employers can tap into a strong workforce no matter where they base their operations. For employees, the wide distribution of jobs means that they are able to choose from a variety of communities in which to live and enjoy the lifestyle that best fits their needs—whether their preference is a well-established neighborhood, a new, fast-growing community, or a small town or rural setting—while maintaining a reasonable commute time.

The Dallas–Fort Worth regional economy is among the most diverse in the nation, which means that companies can draw from a deep base of skilled workers. Logistics and trade, technology, and advanced services represent the lifeblood of the Dallas–Fort Worth regional economy, offering competitive advantages for this area on both the national and the international levels. Businesses in DFW can move goods quickly and costeffectively using a robust intermodal network that connects to regional centers by truck and rail and to world centers by air. The region’s technology sector, led by international powerhouses such as Texas Instruments Inc., has helped develop a strong base of engineers and information science professionals to lead product innovation for the world. The DFW area has a strong base of headquarters and other professional services, making the region a magnet for business leadership.

It is no surprise that DFW enjoys international standing in three sectors that are the lifeblood of the global economy. Each of these sectors serves DFW well at the regional, national and continental levels of economic engagement. Transportation, communication and information technologies provide the means to move information, people, and goods around the globe. Logistics and trade direct and manage the movement of materials and products, while advanced services provide the management and control functions for all operations, no matter how remote. Without these three competencies, today's global economy simply would not exist.

Our Global Footprints Logistics And Trade

From the earliest times, this region has leveraged its central geography with various transportation assets. Significant trade and distribution activity now comes to and through the DFW metro area by land, air, and rail with local intermodal facilities linking the three modes of transport. Looking ahead, as high value materials and products move from shipping vessels to airplanes, the region's place in international trade routes will become increasingly vital.

Technology Sector Dallas led the nation into the new era of information and communication technologies beginning in 1958 with the invention of the microchip at Texas Instruments. Today, the local technology sector is broad and it is deep, and DFW technology companies enable many of the core activities and processes of the global economy.

Wages and salaries Median wages and salaries in the Dallas– Fort Worth region generally track below national levels, thanks to Texas’ probusiness labor environment and low taxes. An abundance of affordable housing compared to major metropolitan areas means employees can still enjoy a high standard of living at lower costs than in other major markets.

A business, consortium of businesses, or trade union identifies a training need and then partners with a public community or technical college to fill its specific needs. Businesses work with college partners to submit proposals, develop curricula and conduct training. The Skills Development Fund pays for the training, the college administers the grant, and businesses create new jobs and improve the skills of their current workers.

Economic Indicators

year-to-year Population Growth Dallas-Fort Worth-arlington,tX Dallas-plano-irving, tX Fort-Worth arlington,tX

The Dallas–Fort Worth region weathered the global economic downturn better than most other parts of the country, thanks to a well-diversified economy and a probusiness culture that continued to spur growth. The region’s gross domestic product continued its growth arc. The jobless rate increased, but remained well below the national average, despite the fact that the region’s labor force continued to grow. The diversity of the economy helped to minimize the impact of sectors hit hardest by the recession. And with fewer job losses, retail spending did not experience the deep declines felt in other markets. The region’s housing market experienced a lower foreclosure rate than did other major U.S. metropolitan areas—largely avoiding the bust because it never had a dramatic boom inflated by speculative buyers.

Countries will show a trade surplus with DFW because of particular goods being produced here, including aerospace and aviation machinery. While Canada and Mexico are among our largest trading partners in terms of total tonnage, the value of the goods going in and out of the region is relatively low.

accolades Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the top regions in the nation for business, thanks to a low cost of living, a business-friendly environment, a strong base of well-educated and skilled employees, and robust access to both U.S. and world markets through its transportation network. But don’t take our word for it. Year after year, the region’s selling points are lauded by prestigious business experts at publications such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, Fortune, and Site Selection. And key metrics tracked by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, which measures economic indicators throughout Texas, northern Louisiana, and southern New Mexico, show the region to be among the strongest in the country. Dallas– Fort Worth is consistently among the top places to work, the best places to live, and the best places for investment.

Economic Metro to Metro Comparisons

San fRanCiSCO

Companies examine many different variables when choosing what part of the country they wish to locate. The DallasFort Worth Metropolitan area excels quite well when compared economically to other major metro areas around the country. The low unemployment rate, growing labor force and low cost of living makes it a prime destination for companies of all sizes. No state corporate income tax in Texas and the affordable real estate costs in DFW are very attractive to anyone wishing to minimize operational costs.

Dallas-Fort Worth has a strong entrepreneurial presence. In 2008, the region ranked 7th of the 15 largest U.S. metros for entrepreneurial activity, which is higher than Boston, Seattle and Houston. With the help of the state’s Emerging Technology Fund, our region continues to attract entrepreneurial companies to expedite technology innovations and create jobs in the private sector.

The Emerging Technology Fund (ETF), created by the Texas Legislature, provides Texas with an unparalleled advantage by expediting the development and commercialization of new technologies and by recruiting the best research talent in the world. Matching and commercialization funds coupled with additional federal and outside investments mean new technology is emerging in Texas. The North Texas Regional Center for Innovation & Commercialization (NTXRCIC) is one of six regional agents tasked with identifying technology-based entrepreneurial ventures for investment from the ETF.

Call Centers and Data Centers

Major u.s. Internet Peering Points seaTTle

neW YoRK CiTY

Dallas-Fort Worth’s central location and connectivity to the backbone of the Internet make this region a major site for call centers and data centers. The region's central time zone, one hour behind the East Coast and two hours ahead of the West, extends the working day for companies doing business on both coasts. Call centers here enjoy a significant advantage over other cities because of our location and the availability of a highly trained workforce. DFW's primary data center strengths are its connectivity as one of the primary peering points of all U.S Internet traffic, as well as the substantial number of data centers already in the area. DFW has one of the lowest power rates for large industrial users among the peering point cities making this region even more attractive.

office Clusters Office space is concentrated in key areas, including downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, along the Interstate 35E, North Central Expressway and Dallas North Tollway corridors between downtown Dallas and its northern suburbs, and in Irving’s Las Colinas master-planned development. The DallasFort Worth office market slowed with the economic recession, but like many other parts of the regional economy, didn’t reach the depths of market weakness experienced in other major U.S. metropolitan areas. As a result, the market is expected to recover more quickly than elsewhere in the nation. On average, the vacancy rates hover around 22 percent, and the average asking lease rate was $18.11 a square foot.

Industrial Clusters Industrial space is distributed throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth region, with concentrations in Fort Worth’s Alliance Texas development, Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport, Arlington, Garland, Grand Prairie, Coppell, and along the Interstate 35E corridor between Dallas and Lewisville. The market for industrial space is showing signs of strengthening. Limited new construction is providing the breathing room that the market needs in order for it to catch up from vacancies during the recession. Market watchers credit the strength of the regional economy, its low taxes, and its low labor costs for keeping DFW as a desirable market for real estate investment. The average price per square foot is $45.40, well below the national average of $56.40. Average vacancy in the market is 11.5 percent.

DFW Industrial Space:

A Logistics, Distribution, and Manufacturing Hub Dallas-fort worth's central u.s. location provides an advantageous distribution hub, with quick access to rail, air and over-the-ground truck transportation.

Rising business costs and constrictive regulatory environments raise the risks and costs to a business. Stability of the political, economic and legal systems are vital for success. The tax burdens and labor requirements imposed on businesses create barriers to market entry and real estate development. Texas is a low-tax, businessfriendly state attracting large numbers of companies from all over the United States and globally due to the low cost of doing business. As a “right-to-work” state, Texas ranks high in favorable tax climate rankings while the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area exhibits extremely low union activity. The Dallas-Fort Worth area’s favorable business climate focuses on reducing the costs and risks of doing business.

Locally, several programs exempt qualifying companies from certain taxes, in some cases for up to 10 years. Programs vary by city, but they offer a breadth that can provide value for a variety of projects. Additional statewide programs assist companies with job training, obtaining capital, and expanding venture capital investment.

SITE SPECIFIC INCENTIVES

Tax increment financing (TIF) is a tool authorized by Texas Tax Code that allows local governments to publicly finance infrastructure improvements within a defined area. TIF zones and opportunities vary by city.

Foreign Trade zones (FTZs) provide duty-free or deferred payment of goods processed at plants engaged in international trade. The DFW area currently has four FTZs. Under a new approval, the six-county DFW area (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Grayson and Rockwall Counties) has been pre-approved by the federal government as eligible foreign trade zone property. With the agreement of local officials, the federal government will provide any eligible business with a foreign trade zone designation on an expedited and simplified basis.

LOCAL INCENTIVES

Freeport Tax exemptions allows local governing bodies the option to exempt personal property consisting of goods, wares, merchandise or ores other than oil, natural gas and petroleum. Eligible property must be transported out of the state within 175 days of acquisition, but may be assembled, stored, manufactured, processed or fabricated locally. Triple Freeport zones are exempt from city, county, and school district property taxes on inventory.

Tax abatements are offered by individual cities in DFW and are available to eligible properties to encourage businesses to invest or expand. Individual city taxing boards grant a taxpayer a stay of paying a tax for a short or long term, for a total or percentage of the tax. The criteria vary by taxing jurisdiction and abatement levels. Many Dallas-area communities have enacted ad valorem tax abatement ordinances authorizing the granting of tax abatements up to 100 percent, for up to 10 years, for economic development projects. These abatements apply only to the value of improvements constructed as a result of the particular economic development project. Each community applies its ordinance on a case-by-case basis; and in many communities, the ordinances contain certain employment, minimum dollar investment or construction square footage requirements that must be met in order for tax abatements to be available. Some Dallas-area communities, cities and counties also have enacted ordinances authorizing the abatement of property taxes on business or personal property for qualifying development projects. The property tax abatement may be offered in lieu of or in addition to the ad valorem tax abatements described above. Both are administered on a case-by-case basis. The Texas leverage Fund (TlF) serves as additional source of financing to communities that have adopted an economic development sales tax. The Fund allows communities to leverage future sales tax revenues to provide financing for industry expansion, recruitment, industrial parks establishment, and other community projects. local government loan Funds (Chapter 380) provide legislative authority for Texas cities to provide a grant or a loan of city funds or services in order to promote economic development. DFW cities have utilized the provisions to provide a wide array of incentives that have drawn businesses and industries to locales throughout the region.

TIF INCENTIVES

The Texas enterprise zone Program is an economic development tool for local communities to partner with the State of Texas to promote job creation and capital investment in economically distressed areas of the state. Local communities must nominate a company as an Enterprise Project to be eligible to participate in the Enterprise Zone Program. The EZP is performance-based and allows qualified businesses to receive a refund of state sales and use taxes, ranging from $2,500–$7,500 per job created or retained during a five year designation period, up to a maximum of $1.25–$3.75 million. The level and amount of refund is related to the capital investment and jobs at the qualified business site. Texas' linked deposit Program provides a vehicle to financial institutions for providing low-interest loans to minorityowned businesses and small businesses located in statedesignated Enterprise Zones. sales Tax for economic development There are two types of economic development sales tax: a 4A tax and a 4B tax. 4A cities may use the money raised by this sales tax for purposes related to industrial development including: purchasing land, buildings and equipment; paying principal and interest on debt; improving airports that are an integral part of an industrial park; and making improvements to support waterborne commerce. A number of cities in the DFW region have both 4A and 4B sales tax bonds, which allows cities to generate more revenue to provide funding for a broader scope of economic development projects.

Rates and Infrastructure within DFW Water and Sewer Water and sewer rates Price per 1,000 gallons

Dallas-Fort Worth is expected to continue growing at a rapid rate. In order to keep up with projected demands for utilities, the region's leaders have made it a priority to secure reliable sources of water and gas. The area's many lakes and the abundant natural gas reserves located in the geologic formation known as the Barnett Shale ensure that DFW will have available access to these resources in the decades to come. The centralized location on a major telecommunications hub allows for multiple levels of connectivity to exist in the region. Dallas-Fort Worth makes up a larger information and communications hub that spans across the globe. The redundancy in connectivity this affords translates to minimal risk of downtime for any business operating in the vicinity.

Electricity

Rates and Reliability

Typical Residential and Commercial Bills (Dallas) The Dallas-Fort Worth region ranks close to the national median in terms of overall electric rates. Reliability in the system is preserved by operating on a separate power grid than the rest of the country. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the flow of electric power to 22 million Texas customers. Since Texas has a deregulated electricity market where consumers are free to shop around and choose their service providers, the power to choose their provider gives flexibility in pricing and service.

Cost of living

s e aT T l e (120.2)

Quite simply, it’s easy to live in DFW. The Dallas–Fort Worth region is one of the most affordable in the country, a competitive advantage for companies as they seek both to keep labor costs low and to recruit the best workers. Employees in DFW enjoy a higher standard of living, with consistently lower costs for housing, groceries, transportation, and health care compared with workers in other major U.S. business centers. The region’s relatively low housing prices provide the strongest edge for companies that operate here, coming in more than 30 percent lower than the national average and more than 50 percent lower than many other major metropolitan areas.

Attractions and Amenities There’s something for everyone in the Dallas–Fort Worth region, whether you’re looking for history, fine arts, amusement parks, or professional sports. The region is home to professional teams in every major sport. The NFL’s Dallas Cowboys football team and the MLB’s Texas Rangers baseball team have state-of-the-art facilities located in Arlington, right in between the downtowns of Dallas and Fort Worth. Basketball and hockey fans can watch the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and the NHL’s Dallas Stars play at American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas. And soccer fans can watch FC Dallas, an MLS team based in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas. The area supports plenty of other family-friendly amenities as well, including two major zoos, one in Dallas and one in Fort Worth, and the Six Flags amusement park complex, which features both a water park and a theme park. The Fort Worth Stockyards offer a glimpse into the Old West, showcasing Fort Worth’s history as a key stop for cattle drives on the Chisholm Trail. And Dallas’s Fair Park is the home to the State Fair of Texas, one of the largest state fairs in the country.

housing Costs Home prices in the DFW region have remained relatively stable during the recent economic recession, avoiding both the rapid price escalation that fueled a lot of the speculative development on the West and East Coasts and the dramatic plummeting of home values experienced by other regions. The market’s strength has been sustained by a combination of affordability and a diverse economic base that has kept unemployment figures well below national levels. The ease of travel between smaller cities and major job centers means that employees can choose from a wide variety of communities and neighborhoods to accommodate their lifestyles and price points.

SCHOOLS | School Districts

school Districts School districts in the Dallas–Fort Worth region are locally administered and independent of each other. District lines generally relate to city boundaries, but are not exclusive to them. For example, the Richardson ISD includes students in Richardson and parts of Dallas and Garland. The Dallas Independent School District— or Dallas ISD, as it is known locally—is the region’s largest school district, with more than 160,000 students and a nationally recognized magnet program. Students attending Dallas ISD schools live in Addison, Balch Springs, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Hutchins, Mesquite, Seagoville, University Park, and Wilmer. Since 2007, the district has more than quadrupled the number of schools receiving an Exemplary rating, the state’s highest rating. In Tarrant County, the Fort Worth ISD dominates with nearly 80,000 students. Dallas ISD hosts 10 magnet schools, including several that have been nationally recognized. Its Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts is located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District and includes several internationally known artists among its alumni. The arts magnet, along with the School for the Talented and Gifted at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center in Dallas and the School of Science and Engineering at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center, were recognized as among the best high schools in the nation by a recent report in U.S. News and World Report. Other area schools recognized in the report include Highland Park High School, Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, and the International Baccalaureate School at North Hills Preparatory in Irving. Several area schools were recognized as 2010 Blue Ribbon Schools, a national honor awarded to schools that have achieved academic excellence or made significant progress in closing the achievement gap.

Traffic Counts Traffic counts are often essential elements of any site selection process. Retailers, in particular, use traffic counts to locate their operations in highly visible and easily accessible locations. In DFW, IH-635, IH-35, and Highway 75 are some of the most traveled major roads in the region. Heavy arterial traffic is often centered around major centers of retail activity and along corridors that connect the region's business centers. Preston Road in Collin County, Collins and Cooper Roads in Arlington, and Northwest Highway in Dallas are just a few examples around the region.

Daily Traffic Counts Traffic counts are provided by the Texas Department of Transportation and local municipalities and compiled by the North Central Texas Council of Governments. Data represent 24-hour counts on various dates and years.

The facility's highly flexible, stacked design allows it to host several different types of events concurrently, and the building's unique architecture, vertical design and interior finish create a new niche in the marketplace.

The Arts Park and Performing Arts Hall are being jointly developed by the complex's owner cities of Allen, Frisco and Plano, along with Member Cities Fairview and Melissa. The Arts of Collin County promises to be the region’s most significant cultural project with the combination of a world-class performance hall, arts facilities and 100+ acre arts park designed for gathering and connecting nature with culture.

will be completed in 2014 and entire project by 2017. The terminal renovation project will provide 21st century upgrades to the existing Terminals A, B, C and E. The project will keep the airport in toptier condition in terms of technology and service through replacement of outdated heating and cooling systems, electrical and plumbing and various other internal systems.

The airport is undergoing an extensive facelift that includes a new, state of-the-art terminal including a new centralized concourse with 20 gates, a remodeled lobby, expanded baggage claim area and a new ticketing wing. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014, just as the Wright Amendment is fully repealed and nonstop service from Dallas Love Field to long haul destinations begins. The project is a joint effort between the City of Dallas and Southwest Airlines that will positively impact the business community and double airport concession availability.

population and Households

The city of Fort Worth is the 17th largest city in the U.S. with a population of 736,000 people. Fort Worth and Tarrant County was one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. in the past decade. It is continually recognized by Money, Fortune, and other magazines as one of the “Best Place to Live and Work”. Fueled by growth in companies like Lockheed Martin, Texas Health Resources, and Fidelity, combined with the economic impact of natural gas drilling in the Barnett Shale helped limit the impact of the “Great Recession” on the DFW region. The Alliance area in north Fort Worth, serves as major intermodal distribution center for many large companies. This area has been the catalyst for the most recent growth. Several Fortune 500 companies call Fort Worth home, including American Airlines, Radio Shack, Pier 1 Imports, XTO Energy, and BNSF Railway. Other companies in the area include Justin Brands, FedEx, Ben E. Keith and Williamson Dickie. Health care, finance, telecommunications, education, tourism, retail trade, and services are also significant economic sectors for the area. Fort Worth also has numerous cultural and entertainment attractions including the nationally ranked Fort Worth Zoo, a world class museum district, the Bass Performance Hall, the Historic Stockyards District, Sundance Square, and the Texas Motor Speedway. Population in the Fort Worth area is 1.27 million, with a median household income of more than $58,000 in 2009.

Bridgeport Municipal Airport

Contained within the boundaries of the city of Dallas, the cities of Highland Park and University Park and are minutes from downtown Dallas and the uptown Dallas area. The Park Cities maintain their own governance, city services and schools. Located north of downtown Dallas, the Park Cities are linked via the North Dallas Tollway and Northwest Highway. Within University Park lies Southern Methodist University, which is home to the wellrespected Cox School of Business and Dedman School of Law. Adjacent to the Park Cities is a major hospital complex, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, Presbyterian Hospital, Children’s Medical Center, Parkland Health and Hospital System and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. The area includes Dallas Love Field, which hosts the headquarters of Fortune 500 firm Southwest Airlines Co. and Affiliated Computer Services Inc. Highland Park is home to the historic Highland Park Village, a high-end retail center that was built in 1931 and the first planned shopping center in the U.S. of its kind. Highland Park was designed by Wilbur David Cook, the same planner who laid out Beverly Hills, Calif. The name was derived by the fact that the area sits at a higher elevation than Dallas and by plans of the city founders to set aside 20 percent of area land for parks.
