LAKE DALLAS O

nce a sleepy fishing camp, today Lake Dallas is a thriving city with a prospering business climate and tranquil family neighborhoods. Our original culture remains with its strong sense of community and hometown traditions including festivals and numerous parks for lakeside recreation, sports and playgrounds.

served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Our revitalized downtown area with urban zoning has developed with historic attractiveness offering space for shops, restaurants, office and living. Several of the buildings date back to the early 1900’s while others are new construction designed to reflect a vintage Main Street style.

Business development in Lake Dallas is steady. From entrepreneurs to large scale commercial enterprises – developers appreciate the progressive economic vision of city leadership. Affordable land options, tax incentives and a business-friendly government with fast-track planning and permitting await new developers to Lake Dallas.

Our History. In the late 1800’s, the Dallas and Wichita Railway came through Lake Dallas, then known as the small rural community of Garza. Located along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, Garza was the site of the original dam to impound the flow of the Trinity River to serve the growing population of Dallas County for drinking water and flood control. The Garza Dam was completed in 1927 and new ‘Lake Dallas’ reservoir was founded. As a result, the residents of Garza changed their town name to Lake Dallas.

Positioned for Growth. Lake Dallas, located on Interstate 35 in southern Denton County on the western shores of Lewisville Lake, is situated in one of the fastest growing counties in the State of Texas and nationwide. The 2010 US Census data indicates Denton County’s population has increased by 53% in the last decade. With a burgeoning population, the ten-mile Retail Trade Area for Lake Dallas has reached a population of 132,266 with 15% projected growth in the next five years. Infrastructure in the area continues to be enhanced to meet growing needs with a new eastward link across Lewisville Lake into Frisco by way of a NTTA toll bridge. Commuter rail service was introduced by the Denton County Transportation Authority in 2011 connecting the region to Carrollton and points

With continued growth both in Dallas and Denton Counties, a second impoundment of the Trinity River was added with the completion of the Lewisville Dam in 1955. The original Garza Dam was breached making a single, large reservoir. Years later, the reservoir was renamed Lewisville Lake. A Lakeside Community. Recreational opportunities abound in our lakeside community. The city’s Willow Grove Park features overnight camping with full utility hook-ups, a fishing pier, swimming beach, and a multiuse trail. Lake Dallas Watercross Jet Ski Championships come to Willow Grove Park

each summer featuring some of the world’s fastest riders in ski and runabout style watercraft reaching speeds in excess of 85 mph. Lake Dallas is renowned for numerous family-friendly festivals and events that the public eagerly awaits. The city plays host to the county’s only Mardi Gras celebration complete with a Big Easy style parade down Main Street, live jazz music and Cajun cuisine. The Lake Cities 4th of July is the area’s hallmark celebration hosted by Lake Dallas and uniting with neighboring cities of Corinth, Hickory Creek and Shady Shores. Fireworks blanket the evening sky to celebrate our nation’s independence after a full day of live entertainment and festivities. Our Vision. The vision of Lake Dallas is to be a proud community with unique charm, built on strong family and community values, with exciting lakeside, recreational and tourism assets supported by a diverse and profitable business base.

MIDLOTHIAN, TEXAS

M

idlothian, Texas is ideally located in northwest Ellis County less than 30 minutes from Dallas, Fort Worth, and DFW International Airport. Midlothian has become a community of choice for both families and businesses because of its hometown feeling, ideal location, excellent transportation corridors, and progressive business attitude.

Midlothian has a small town feel with family friendly neighborhoods and expansive green spaces; yet, residents are just a short drive from any and every type of recreation or entertainment available in the DFW Metroplex. Midlothian has excellent schools, quality healthcare services, and a growing retail sector. Midlothian’s quality of place gives its residents a range of options – from residential preferences to their choice of leisure activities.

Midlothian companies draw from a labor pool of over 500,000 from Ellis and Johnson Counties, and southern Tarrant and Dallas Counties. Higher education and custom employee training is available at the Midlothian Campus of Navarro College, Texas A&MCommerce, and Tarleton State University. Quality industrial and commercial developments like RailPort and Walnut Grove have shovel-ready sites available for a company’s expansion or relocation. Mid-Way Regional Airport has recently expanded and can now accommodate most corporate jets on its new and improved 6,500 ft. runway. Competitive incentives such as tax abatements, freeport exemptions, forgivable loans, and Chapter 380 agreements are also part of the package.


DALLAS, TEXAS

IS ALL WAYS CONNECTED

T

To Lifestyle. From sporting events to a bustling nightlife and music scene, some of the best food and shopping in the U.S. to exquisite museums, architecture and art - Dallas offers a truly diverse mix of culture and lifestyle.

DFW International Airport, with 139 domestic and 39 international destinations, puts Dallas less than three and a half hours from North America’s business centers including: New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Toronto, Chicago and Atlanta. 98% of the U.S. population is within 48 hours of Dallas by ground transportation.

The Dallas Arts District is the largest urban cultural district in the country, with 19 blocks covering 68 acres. Its $354 million expansion was completed in October 2009. Other various museums and artistic venues are spread throughout the city.

To The World. Located in the center of the continental United States, Dallas’ strategic location, as well as its status as one of the few cities in the U.S. with five major highways, achieves world-wide market access through international logistics and transportation. Dallas’ two major commercial airports, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL), combine for 7,067 weekly non-stop flights to 187 destinations. A cargo airport, four intermodal rail yards and a location on the NAFTA highway help Dallas to easily deliver products to the east and west coasts of the United States as well as Mexico and Canada.

To Talent. With a strong economy, Dallas is the 9th largest city in the U.S. with a population of almost 1.2 million. Dallas is the cultural and economic core of the internationally important Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Metropolitan area. With access to a population of over 6.4 million, DFW is the fourth most populous Metropolitan Statistical Area in the nation. Educational opportunities abound in the Dallas area; more than 25 colleges and universities provide an educated work force with broad-based knowledge and skills. The university presence provides a trained and ample work force, as well as an overall educated population. To Business.

Other industries headquartered in Dallas come from high-tech manufacturing, food processing, construction, health care, entertainment, energy and transportation, which provide a diversified Dallas economy. To Affordability. The ACCRA Cost of Living index consistently reports that it is less expensive to live in Dallas than in the other large U.S. Metro areas. In 2010, Forbes magazine ranked Dallas as the 14th most affordable city in America. Because of the combination of low taxes, reasonable housing costs and low cost of living and doing business, Dallas enjoys a strong and competitive economic environment. Dallas’ commercial buildings house over 421 million square feet of activity and opportunity. Development prospects abound with thousands of acres of vacant land available for distribution, office and retail projects. Whether you run a small business or major corporation, Dallas provides the business environment and the support your company needs to succeed and grow.

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 of both truck and rail shipping. For business travelers, the region’s midcontinent location means saving time on travel—any major U.S. city is less than four 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 A-Train operated by the Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) connects DART riders in Carrollton to an additional five stations ending in Denton. 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 distribution centers across the United States and into Mexico.

Getting to Work

Commuting Patterns

WISE 59%

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.

Dallas–Fort Worth Boasts Two Airports 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 670,000 tons in FY 2011, serve 14 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.

Regional Population

By the Numbers:

Denton 113,383

DFW MSA Population is larger than the combined populations of Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Vermont, Maine, and Alaska.

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.

Projected Population Growth

2005-2040 Population Growth Projections

35

The Dallas–Fort Worth region is expected to grow to a population of 10.5 million people and employ more than 6.6 million by the year 2040. Growth is likely to occur in almost all parts of the region.

Data presented on this map are compiled by traffic survey zone (TSZ), an aggregate of census blocks. Forecast estimates are produced by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and are the result of a combination of efforts. The first of these is an objective, deterministic model that uses factors such as inventory of vacant land and accessibility to allocate given levels of households and employment. The second is a subjective local review process whereby local entities are given an opportunity to review the model outputs and suggest adjustments. For this, local reviewers use their own expertise, experience, and knowledge along with substantiating information such as adopted comprehensive plans and known development activity. It is important to note that both the objective and the subjective processes represent possible outcomes of future development activity. NCTCOG staff assess input submitted by local reviewers along with other data tracked by NCTCOG to complete the forecast estimates. These data were developed for regional planning activities and have not been evaluated for other uses. The North Central Texas Council of Governments makes no warranty, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Responsibility for the use of these data lies solely with the user.

Demographics Demographics in the Dallas–Fort Worth region are changing as the population diversifies. Nearly 18 percent of the population is foreign-born, with Hispanics accounting for the largest minority group, both in the region and in the state. With a growing immigrant population, the region’s workforce is relatively young and well educated. More than half of workers 25 years of age and older have at least some college education, with more than 30 percent holding a bachelor’s degree or another advanced degree.

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 important 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.

Labor Supply WHERE PEOPLE LIVE 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.

Dallas-Fort Worth

Historically, 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.

Advanced Services Advanced services traditionally have meant headquarters, but also include financial, professional and technical services ranging from management consulting firms to business insurers, accountants, and legal services. Complex technologies and transnational operations have pushed most of the growth in advanced services activities into highly specialized firms and enterprises. This region has an exceptionally large number of these operations and is likely to continue to attract additional companies.

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.

Economic Indicators

Year-to-Year Population Growth Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington,TX Dallas-Plano-Irving, TX Fort-Worth Arlington,TX

Total growth 2000-2010: 1,210,229

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.

BURLESON, TEXAS

T

he site selection and corporate real estate community is beginning to take note of the pro-business climate in Burleson, Texas. Encouraged by successful manufacturers, retail developments, and housing expansion, developers are wondering why they haven’t considered Burleson for major facilities before now. While new construction in Texas has waned, Burleson has opened 60,000 ft of new “Class Aâ€? ofďŹ ce space, seen multiple manufacturers expand and retool, and currently has the Regional Headquarters of United Cooperative Services under construction near its new Business Park. The facility will house the region’s electric system control functions, an energy innovation center highlighting the beneďŹ ts of alternative energy, as well an electric training institute. The headquarters will be a LEED certiďŹ ed facility with features such as a solar ďŹ eld and wind turbine.

With a 160 acre Business Park coming on-line in 2012, Burleson is determined to become a force within the competitive environment for advanced manufacturing, logistics, and corporate ofďŹ ce facilities. Sites within HighPoint Business Park range from 6 – 45 acres and are located directly adjacent to Interstate 35W, less than ďŹ ve minutes south of Old Town Burleson. Sites within the Park are master-planned, platted and zoned for quick building process, as well as ease of development. The Park boasts aggressive, comprehensive incentives packages, as well as access to quality, over-sized infrastructure. The Park is the ďŹ rst phase of the City’s new comprehensive plan which envisions more than 2,500 acres of land between Interstate 35W and the Union PaciďŹ c Class I rail line being developed into a major job growth center. Burleson remains one of the strongest retail and restaurant markets in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. With Class A retail vacancy at less than 7% and rents stable at $23 per square foot, Burleson remains a vibrant retail opportunity. The retail market is being bolstered with the opening of two “Class Aâ€? apartment communities and continued new housing development. Burleson grew by more than 650 new households during 2011, creating more than $70,000,000 in new residential construction spending. For more information about sites and opportunities in Burleson, contact the OfďŹ ce of Economic Development at 817-426-9623 or ecodev@burlesontx.com.

Economic Metro to Metro Comparisons Companies examine many different variables when choosing the part of the country in which they wish to locate. The Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area excels when compared economically to other major metro areas around the country. The low unemployment rate, growing labor force and low cost of living make it a prime destination for companies of all sizes. The absence of a state corporate income tax in Texas and the affordable real estate costs in the DFW region are very attractive to companies wishing to minimize operational costs.

In 2011, the number of Fortune 500 companies declined in Dallas–Fort Worth primarily due to mergers and acquisitions. Burlington Northern Sante Fe was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway, XTO Energy by ExxonMobil, and Affiliated Computer Systems merged with Xerox. Although now not headquartered here, these companies remain significant employers within the region.

THE COLONY

The Colony Receives Local and National Recognition as a Premier City

T

he Colony has gained attention as a premier North Texas city where an affluent population enjoys a great lifestyle and business owners find opportunity. Money Magazine recently listed The Colony among the Top 100 places to live in the U.S., and D Magazine ranked The Colony in the Top 15 Best Suburbs in North Texas.The Colony is also one of the most affluent zip codes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and one of only nine Texas cities that have achieved the Playful USA certification. “Our location on Lake Lewisville is just one factor that sets the Colony apart,” said The Colony Mayor Joe McCourry. “While enjoying a friendly, hometown atmosphere, we also have the advantage of a central location in D/FW and City leaders who take an aggressive approach to economic development.” New Businesses. As a result, The Colony has welcomed numerous businesses recently including: Williams-Sonoma, Inc., a premier specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware in the U.S. and Canada

Fast Access. Located 25 minutes north of downtown Dallas, The Colony stretches along 23 miles of the southeastern shore of Lake Lewisville. Travel time to D/FW International Airport is 15 minutes and 40 minutes to Alliance Industrial Airport. Interstate 35E and the Dallas North Tollway are less than 10 minutes away. “These were determining factors in the relocation of the Edward Don & Company’s regional distribution center and Pizza Inn corporate headquarters and distribution center to The Colony,” says Keri Samford, director of The Colony Economic Development Corporation. “The Sysco Foods regional headquarters and distribution center lies along our southern border, and the corporate headquarters of Hewlett-Packard, J.C. Penney, Frito Lay and Dr. Pepper are 10 minutes away.” Prime Space. Other advantages include plentiful space with more than 1,600 acres to develop including 700 with S.H. 121 frontage and new mixed use centers including: The Cascades at The Colony. A 100-acre master-planned community consisting of 280 residences; approximately 200,000 square feet of flex office space, a Marriott Residence Inn; and a Marriott Fairfield Inn. Future phases call for approximately 200,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of retail space. A partnership with JacksonShaw has contributed to strong leasing activity at The Cascades. Austin Ranch. Located west of the Dallas North Tollway and south of S.H.121. The development has 1,900 acres of prime real estate for corporate campuses, commercial offices, industrial distribution parks, retail strip centers, pad sites, multi-family and singlefamily homes. Freddie Mac, Pizza Inn, Hillman Fastners, Edward Don and BeautiControl have all chosen Austin Ranch for their corporate headquarters. Phase Six of Austin Ranch is currently under construction, which will add 558 multifamily units. Affluent and Active. The Colony’s average household income is $104,808. A growing population includes 14,650 housing units with 36,300 residents; 42% of whom are college educated. The median age is 33. The Colony’s Primary Retail Trade Area includes more than 110,000 residents and over 363,000 in an 8-mile radius. Aggressive Incentives. Equally attractive are the incentives The Colony can offer.

Lakeland Marketing, a supplier of marketing supplies to the foodservice industry.

“The City and Economic Development Corporation were welcoming, professional and responsive to our needs, and the incentives offered were aggressive and generous,” said Bobby Cimrhanzel, president of Lakeland Marketing. “We are very happy to be a part of this community.”

Tuffronts, a manufacturer of pre-cut vending machine panels and supplies.

Small Business According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), in 2000, small businesses represented roughly 98% of all employers nationally, created more than 80% of new jobs, and accounted for 45% of private payroll. In Dallas–Fort Worth, small business is a vital part of our economic success because of its entrepreneurial spirit and drive for innovation. DFW ranks 7th in the U.S. in number of small businesses.

Corporate Business Climate Comparison The Dallas area is home to a large and diverse array of corporate headquarters, and for good reason. Our region has a tremendous set of assets that companies look for when choosing where to base. We have much to sell, and our pitch is a good one, especially right now. The U.S. economy and corporations are resetting. The difficult business climates in California, Illinois and other key states are viewed in stark contrast to the operating environment in the Dallas area, and in Texas. Leading corporate location magazines (Site Selection and Area Development) have noticed and have named Texas the Top State for doing business. In the most recent Texas legislative session, our elected officials made key decisions to maintain our top ranking business climate status. These include refusing to establish a personal state or corporate income tax, reducing expenditures by 8.1% in the next two years to balance the state budget, no increase in the Texas Corporate Franchise Tax, preservation of $6 billion in the Texas Rainy Day Fund, continued funding of the Texas Enterprise Fund and other incentives designed to encourage business location and continued funding for transportation improvements. Our business climate sends a simple yet compelling message. There is no better region from which to operate a national or global firm today, next year, or even 10 to 20 years from now.

DFW's Economic Engine

Aviation and Aerospace The Dallas–Fort Worth area is among the nation’s top regions for aviation and aerospace activity. The region is headquarters to two mainline airlines, American Airlines Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co., and regional jet operator (and American Airlines partner) American Eagle Inc. Both American and Southwest operate major maintenance bases here, creating a strong foundation of aviation employment. Aerospace is a key source of economic strength for the region, comprising more than 900 companies and accounting for one of every six jobs in North Texas. Lockheed Martin Corp., whose F-16 and F-35 Joint Strike Fighters are the region’s flagship product, and Bell Helicopter Textron are the largest aerospace employers, with more than 26,400 employees between them. In 2009, the Pentagon spent $21.5 billion on prime contractors based in North Texas.

Data Centers

Major U.S. Internet Peering Points

Dallas–Fort Worth is located in a nearperfect geographic region for IT hosting and data center operations. Located in the Central Time Zone, the workday is extended for companies operating on both coasts. DFW’s temperate climate and low risk of natural disaster helps minimize construction and operation costs. It’s no coincidence that Dallas–Fort Worth is considered a major internet “peering point.” Both speed and reliability are important for any IT operation, and highspeed fiber connectivity is plentiful in the area. Compared to other peering-point cities, DFW has some of the lowest power rates for large industrial users. The Texas electric power grid, ERCOT, gives data center operators a competitive advantage due to its independence from electric grids in other states. This autonomy reduces the risk of rolling power outages, improves reliability and reduces volatility in prices. According to reports by Jones Lang LaSalle and Tier1Research, Dallas has been experiencing heavy demand for new data center space. There are more than 35 data center providers in the region, and demand for new space is expected to continue through 2014. New facilities are currently being built throughout the region to meet this growing demand.

Attractive rents with an abundance of choices Office space is concentrated in key areas, including downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, along the Interstate 35-E, 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 Dallas–Fort 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 19.5 percent, and the average asking lease rate was $17.53 a square foot.

The DFW region offers a multitude of options for companies looking to operate here. From multi-tenant buildings in the urban core and CBDs, to office parks throughout the region, many companies have discovered DFW to be a strategic and cost-effective location for corporate activities.

A Logistics, Distribution, and Manufacturing Hub 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 35-E 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 sustaining DFW as a desirable market for real estate investment. The average price per square foot for industrial is $3.73, and flex is $6.53. Average vacancy in the market is 10.5 percent.

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 places 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.

Taxes and Incentives | Taxes and Union Activity

127


State and Local Incentives Dallas–Fort Worth has a strong business culture, and a variety of state and local incentive programs are available to expanding or relocating businesses, ranging from tax abatements and tax increment financing to development of infrastructure and free-trade zones. The programs help keep the cost of doing business low, enabling companies that are creating jobs in the DFW region to gain a competitive advantage. 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.

DEVELOPING AREAS The County Development District Sales Tax enables counties of less than 45,000 residents to create county assistance districts and adopt local sales taxes. Eligible counties must not contain a 4A or 4B city or any transit authority territory. The Capital Access Program (Texas Capital Fund) is available to eligible cities with fewer than 50,000 residents or counties with less than 200,000 residents to assist businesses that employ low-to-moderate-income persons. The Rural Municipal Finance Program assists in the economic development of rural areas. Eligible applicants include city and county governments, economic development corporations, hospital districts, rail districts, utility districts, special districts, agricultural districts, and private water and wastewater corporations.

Dallas Economic Development Guide®

STATE INCENTIVES Texas Enterprise Fund The Texas Enterprise Fund attracts new business to the state or assists with expansion. Funds can be used for infrastructure development, community development, job training and business incentives. Capital investment, job creation, wages generated and public or private project support are significant factors in approving the use of the enterprise fund. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV The Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) was enacted to improve research at Texas universities, help start-up technology firms, and facilitate commercialization. Emerging technology projects are eligible for funding if they result in the creation of high-quality jobs or have the potential to result in a medical or scientific breakthrough. ZZZ QW[UFLF RUJ Skills Development Fund The Skills Development Fund assists with customized job training. Businesses and trade unions must partner with a community or technical college, the Texas Engineering Extension Service or a community-based organization working with one of these establishments. Businesses should have a training plan and pay wages that are equal to or greater than current wages in the local market. Grants for a single business may be limited to $500,000. Industrial Revenue Bond Program Local government districts are authorized to establish nonprofit industrial development corporations or authorities to issue tax-exempt or taxable revenue bonds. Projects must promote the development or expansion of manufacturing and industrial facilities in Texas. The amount of a bond may not exceed $10 million. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV Industry Development Loan Program The Texas Industry Development (TID) Loan Program provides capital to Texas communities at favorable market rates. The main objective of TID is to support projects that will stimulate the creation of jobs. TID loans can be used for a variety of purposes including community infrastructure development. TID financing is available for loans above $5,000,000. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV The Texas Linked Deposit Program encourages lending to historically underutilized businesses, child-care providers, nonprofit corporations, or small to medium-sized businesses located in an enterprise zone. Proceeds may be used for working capital or the purchase, construction, or lease of capital assets. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV Texas Product Development Fund: Capital loans for product commercialization and businesses The fund provides asset-backed financing to companies doing business in the state. Financing is done in the form of direct asset based loans with a variable interest rate tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Loans can be amortized up to the life of the asset. Texas companies or out-of-state/international companies doing business in the state are eligible to apply. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV Texas Small Business Fund: Capital loans for small business growth and expansion The fund provides financing for the development of small and medium-sized businesses.

Additional preference will apply to applicants that have other sources of financing, have formed companies in Texas ,and are receiving assistance from designated state small business development centers. JRYHUQRU VWDWH W[ XV The Economic Development and Diversification Program is a tax incentive that offers an in-state tuition waiver for family members of companies who have relocated to Texas.

SITE SPECIFIC INCENTIVES

Tax increment financing (TIF) is a tool authorized by the 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 allow 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 a 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; 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 an 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.

TAXES AND INCENTIVES | State and Local Incentives

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 to $7,500 per job created or retained during a five-year designation period, up to a maximum of $1.25 to $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 them to generate more revenue to provide funding for a broader scope of economic development projects.

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 the globe. The redundancy in connectivity that this affords translates to minimal risk of downtime for any business operating in the vicinity.

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 from that of 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, allowing consumers to shop around and choose their service providers, they have the power to choose their provider— creating flexibility in pricing and service.

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.

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.

Parks and Recreation The Dallas–Fort Worth region offers a bevy of recreational opportunities, with several lakes and state parks that feature boating, water sports, hiking trails, and trails for both mountain biking and road biking. The region is expanding its network of bike trails, linking neighborhoods to parks and job centers, with popular trail systems around White Rock Lake in Dallas and the Trinity River in Fort Worth. The regional Veloweb is a 644-mile, designated off-street trail network that has been planned to provide bicycle and pedestrian connections in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. The Dallas Arboretum and the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, located in the heart of Dallas and Fort Worth respectively, provide a peaceful escape from hectic everyday responsibilities.

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.

School Districts

Chico 617 | 984 Krum 997 | 1,604

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 article 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 establish their operations in highly visible and easily accessible locations. In DFW, I-635, I-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.

'DLO\ 7UDIÀF &RXQWV 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.

University of Texas at Arlington College Park Center COST:$78 million AREA: 218,000 sq. ft. ESTIMATED COMPLETION: 2012

A 7,000-seat special events center will anchor the $160 million College Park District, which spans more than 20 acres. Included in this mixed-use development are The Green at College Park, as well as a residence hall, student apartments, retail stores and restaurants, a new University welcome center, and an 1800-car parking garage.

The airport is undergoing an extensive face-lift that includes a new, state of-the-art terminal with 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.

TERRELL Planning, collaboration, vision: The secret to our success 2011 has been a very good year for the City of Terrell with the latest announcements of signiďŹ cant projects that will fuel our economic growth engine for years to come. EIGHTYTWENTY retail development. The MGHerring Group announced they have ďŹ nalized plans for a $30 million economic development agreement for EightyTwenty, a new 255-acre, open-air shopping center located at the intersection of Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 80. The ďŹ rst phase of the project will include 600,000 square feet of retail space and is slated for a Spring 2013 opening. “EightyTwenty is positioned to become the commercial hub for this portion of the East Texas trade area, serving approximately 275,000 people,â€? said Gar Herring, president of The MGHerring Group. MAINES PAPER & FOOD SERVICE, INC. DISTRIBUTION CENTER. Maines Paper & Food Service, Inc., one of the leading independent food service distributors in the country, broke ground with plans to hire 140 new employees for their new 138,000 sf distribution center. The facility will service restaurants spanning

across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma. This facility will be LEED-certiďŹ ed and their ďŹ rst distribution center west of the Mississippi River. At full build-out, the facility will be over 400,000 sf and employ up to 400. “Having a company like Maines expand their operations in Terrell’s Airport Business Park is great news for our city, the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex and the State of Texas,â€? states Mayor Hal Richards. New terminal at Terrell Municipal Airport. Terrell Municipal Airport, through the efforts of Major William F. Long, was the ďŹ rst to host Britain’s Royal Air Force ight training school during WWII, and maintains an active museum celebrating British and American co-operations. The new full-service FBO terminal, dedicated in his honor, “rates in the top tier of some 50 terminal buildings that we have built around the country. As Texas continues to grow and new employers arrive, imagine the ďŹ rst impression they get when coming through this building,â€? states David Fulton, director of the Texas Department of Transportation aviation division.

The Terrell Economic Development Corporation offers a variety of economic incentives to support development, ranging from tax abatements to Triple Freeport. There are development opportunities at both the 80/20 junction and Metrocrest/Airport business parks, with 5 to 40-acre shovel-ready sites. Located adjacent to Interstate 20, and U.S. Highway 80, sites are especially well suited for distribution, attracting companies like Goodyear, Walmart, Nucor and Maines. A new 6,000-acre residential development is planned which will house over 40,000 residents – adding to an already outstanding workforce. Terrell epitomizes the ‘can do’ Texas spirit evidenced by the success of the Fortune 500 company divisions who call it home and value its heritage.

Southern Dallas County, the "Best Southwest" region, offers key transportation links through Interstate 20, Interstate 45, Interstate 35-E and U.S. Highway 67. Access to major highways, and also major rail links, provide the foundation for the Dallas Logistics Hub, a multimodal development in southern Dallas County. Transportation access is also a key selling point for many of the other companies in the area, including manufacturers such as Fujikoki America and Consolidated Casting Corporation. The area also includes the Dallas campus of the University of North Texas. Best Southwest encompasses several suburban communities, among them Cedar Hill, Duncanville, DeSoto, Wilmer, Hutchins, and Lancaster.

The city of Fort Worth is the 16th largest city in the U.S., with a population of 1,209,151. Fort Worth and Tarrant County were 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 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 1.21 million, with a median household income of more than $53,000 in 2010.

SANGER, TEXAS L

ocated along Interstate 35 in Northern Denton County the City of Sanger is an ideal location for distributers and manufacturers considering relocation or expansion in North Texas. Sanger was established in 1886 as a stop on the Santa Fe railroad. During the twentieth century it was primarily a farm and ranch town with an agricultural based economy. During the last two decades Sanger has become more suburban. Its economic base has expanded to include several small manufacturers and a large regional distribution center. Retail and commercial enterprises have also expanded as the population has grown. As Sanger has grown it has maintained its small town values and atmosphere. Sanger’s current population is 7,000 and with a population of over 500,000 in Denton County skilled workers are readily available. Sanger has prepared itself well for growth. The Council recently approved an updated master plan to guide future growth in Sanger. The master plan includes a land use plan that designates over 800 acres along IH 35 for industrial use. This area not only has direct access to the Interstate but also is bordered by the BNSF railroad. With over two miles of both highway and railroad frontage this area is perfect for industrial development. Utilities are available in the area and major utility upgrades are in the works to ensure that services are adequate for future development. A Wal Mart distribution center is located in the zone and serves as its anchor. The Wal Mart facility opened in 2001. With easy access to both Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma, Sanger is a perfect location for regional distribution centers. The City of Sanger has a pro-development attitude and stands ready to partner with companies to bring quality jobs to the area. Sanger has established both a 4A and 4B Economic Development Board and is prepared to assist companies wishing to locate primary job generating facilities in the area. Sanger’s central location and access to both highway and rail make it ideal for manufacturing. Economic development information is available on line at www.sangertexas.org. Sanger boasts an outstanding school system that is large enough to offer a well rounded curriculum and at the same time small enough to be responsive to the needs of parents and students. Sanger Independent School district recently opened a new high school facility and added a second elementary school. Just fifteen minutes away is the University of North

Texas. UNT offers 99 Bachelor, 104 Masters level and 49 Doctorate degrees. UNT is also the home of the Center for Advanced Research and Technology. UNT produces thousands of professionals each year, many of which find employment in the Metroplex. Other universities nearby include North Central Texas College and Texas Women’s University. Sanger is only ten miles from Denton and 50 miles from downtown Dallas and Fort Worth. Sanger residents enjoy the amenities of a major metropolitan area while retaining a small town quality of life. Crime rates are low and housing is very affordable. Lake Ray Roberts is just three miles away and provides a host of outdoor recreational opportunities. The City recently doubled their developed park land with the construction of a 44 acre sports park. If you are looking at North Texas you should be looking at Sanger. Our prime location, access to highway and rail, large tracts of developable industrial land and quality of life make Sanger very attractive to new development. Give us a call or visit our website www.Sangertexas.org for more information.

The Denton County area provides a key connection point for Interstates 35-E and 35-W, offering easy access to both Dallas and Fort Worth job centers, as well as points north via Interstate 35. Denton is home of the University of North Texas, which is one of the three Dallas– Fort Worth area universities striving for Tier 1 status as a research institution, and to Texas Woman’s University. Denton also hosts a number of manufacturing facilities, including those operated by Overhead Door Corp., Peterbilt Motors Co. and Jostens Inc. The fast-growing Denton County area offers several communities that are close to job centers but offer a small-town lifestyle. Area population is expected to exceed 500,000 by 2015—nearly triple its population in 1990. Average household income exceeded $101,000 in 2010. The area includes southern communities such as northern DFW-area suburbs such as Lewisville, Coppell and Flower Mound. Lake Lewisville and Lake Grapevine offer recreational amenities and lakefront living.

Addison Circle - Office Buildings

Blueprints at Addison Circle

The Pergola at Addison Circle Park

Vitruvian

ADDISON, TEXAS A

ristotle once said, “A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.” Were he alive today, Addison, Texas would serve as the prime example.Nestled along the Platinum Corridor between Dallas and Plano, Addison stands as a great economic powerhouse in North Texas. Despite its 14,000 nighttime population, Addison is home to many of the region’s great companies including Mary Kay Cosmetics, United Surgical Partners International, Mohr Partners, National Business Research Institute, Hitachi Consulting, Hilton International, and the list goes on—making the community seem more like a boardroom community than a bedroom community. When a community this size can boast to have 9 million square feet of quality office space and high-caliber tenants, then obviously, the factors important to business must be ripe with opportunity where local government is aligned with the need of the business community. “Our town government is here to support business endeavors and facilitate the long-term success of companies in our community,” says Mayor Todd Meier. “We are dedicated to a pro-business atmosphere that encourages communication and teamwork between businesses and government leaders.”

Through the years, this type of support has attributed to Addison’s robust growth that has transcended into a strong business culture alive with entrepreneurial spirit and “can do” attitude. The fact that the community encompasses roughly four square miles with exceptional transportation access to all points in North Texas provides a unique environment unmatched by other communities. It is also because of its compact size that the town has been able to focus on aesthetics and lush green spaces that promote a sense of place and enhance a business visitor’s experience to the community. Convenience to business services and amenities is another strong facet of the community. Over 170 quality restaurants to satisfy the most discerning palette lie within five minutes of most major office buildings along with 22 hotels with over 4,000 rooms. Adding to quality services available is the existence of Addison Airport—Texas’ busiest general aviation airport serving corporate fleets and recreational users. But, Addison knows how to have fun. Unique year-round festivals and cultural activities help make the community a desired location to live. Major events such as Taste Addison, nationally recognized Addison Kaboom Town!®, Oktoberfest and WorldFest, and ven-

ues such as WaterTower Theatre, and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum make Addison a town that embraces and celebrates diversity. Quality developments such as Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park are true “new urbanist,” pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods where residents can live, work, and play. And, it is these types of developments that have helped create a community that sells itself, and that have helped attract new companies to the community such as USAA. “When a company establishes operations in Addison, we make a commitment to ensure that their investment is protected,” says Mayor Meier. “We, as a town, are going to work hard to provide quality, unparalleled services that will surpass their expectations.” This culture has become the “Addison Way” embraced by town employees and local officials. So when you hear: “We’re glad you’re here.” We really mean: “We’re glad you’re here!” To learn more about business opportunities in Addison, contact Orlando Campos, Director of Economic Development at ocampos@ addisontx.gov.


With access to an energetic, diverse and highly skilled workforce, Addison can help you tap into the country’s most dynamic talent pool. Discover why companies including United Surgical Partners International, Hilton, Mary Kay and USAA have chosen to locate in Addison at addisonED.com.

McKinney offers the perfect mix for successful business development: a highly-educated workforce, proximity to major markets, availability of land, competitive incentives, and excellent schools.



ALLEN, TEXAS P

ositioned at the interchange of US 75 and Sam Rayburn Tollway/SH 121, Allen’s connectivity makes it ideally suited for commercial development. Access to global markets is within a 30-minute drive via Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport. Companies with corporate jets can base their aircraft at Collin County Regional Airport, just seven miles away. While no city is recession proof, Allen, Texas can boast of new jobs, a stable tax rate and a spike in commercial property values. With over 2 million square feet of new retail space constructed in the last several years, Allen is now home to the world class Watters Creek and Village at Allen developments and a new 110,000 square foot Cabela’s store. PFSweb and Frontier Communications recently located regional offices in Allen, leasing over 160,000 square foot and creating over 1,200 jobs. Allen’s corporate and technology parks were designed with cutting-edge infrastructure including dual-feed electric power from separate substations, redundant fiber optic/telecommunications providers, and abundant water resources. Designed to meet the city’s high aesthetic standards, these business parks are built for high tech, telecom, medical and defense-related users, data centers, and the new corporate workplace. All contributing factors to why Allen, Texas was named by the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) as the city “Most Open to Business” in one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S.

Major high tech firms have historically sought out the US 75 corridor because of its concentration of engineers and other advanced technology skill sets. Allen draws from a labor pool of more than 3-million workers in a 30-mile radius. Close proximity to some of the nation’s finest institutions of higher learning ensures a continuous stream of talent. The Allen Independent School District has a reputation as one of the premier school districts in the Dallas area, based on its strong academic programs, exemplary student performance and outstanding facilities. Allen High School students gain real world experience through coursework and internships at the new $21 million Career and Technology Center. It’s no wonder that Allen is ranked 16th in the nation by CNN Money for Best Places to Live. Allen residential communities offer a variety of housing options for homebuyers and renters, including planned residential subdivisions, townhomes and apartment complexes. Allen recently moved to the forefront of suburban development nationwide with the first neighborhood in Texas to participate in the Leadership in Energy and Efficient Design – Neighborhood program (LEED-ND). Allen boasts over 1,000 acres of parks and recreational areas, including the largest in-line skate park in Texas and an enclosed competition swimming pool and water park. The city is also home to two championship public golf courses, a Top Golf entertainment complex, the Hydrous Wakeboard Park and the Allen Event Center.

Contained within the boundaries of the city of Dallas, the cities of Highland Park and University Park 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, with its well-respected 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, the first planned shopping center of its kind in the U.S. Highland Park was designed by Wilbur David Cook, the same planner who laid out Beverly Hills, California. The name was derived from the fact that the area sits at a higher elevation than Dallas and from plans of the city founders to set aside 20 percent of area land for parks.
