DALLAS REGIONAL CHAMBER | WELCOME
WELCOME
A LETTER FROM THE DALLAS REGIONAL CHAMBER
Welcome to the Dallas region, one of the most prosperous, fast-growing – and friendly – regions in the country. We’re glad you’re here. And what a time to be here! In 2014, the Dallas region ranked #1 in the U.S. in new jobs – and it’s no surprise. We can offer businesses great advantages, including a central location coupled with the world’s largest airline and the nation’s largest airline both headquartered here. American Airlines, offering more than 50 non-stop international flights, is based at DFW, DALE PETROSKEY President and Chief the world’s third busiest airport, and Southwest Airlines, the Executive Officer largest U.S. airline, is based at Love Field and recently began Dallas Regional Chamber direct flights to every corner of the United States – and beyond – for the first time ever in October 2014. Other advantages to businesses include low taxes, low workers compensation insurance rates, and limited regulation. And Texas is a Right-to-Work state. That business climate is a major reason our area is attracting about 1,000 new people every week. The Dallas-Fort Worth region has climbed from the ninth to fourth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. in just the past 25 years, with a population today of nearly 7 million. The fastest-growing segment of that population is young and highly-educated, many of them moving here to fill the talent needs of our local companies. Not only are the jobs plentiful, but those who move here for those jobs are quickly finding out why Dallas is one of the best places anywhere to live, work, and play. Reasonable housing costs and no state income tax allow dollars to stretch further here. The business community has a “can-do” spirit, loves to celebrate success, and is filled with optimism for the future. And the sports, arts, and entertainment scene is worldclass, with noted performances, performers, and teams in town just about every day of the year. With all that we have going for us, it’s no surprise that 18 Fortune 500 companies, 40 Fortune 1,000 companies, and 9 Forbes Top Private Companies are headquartered here. And more and more companies are choosing to move here every day. The Dallas region consistently ranks among the top three U.S. metropolitan areas for business expansions, relocations, and employment growth. The Dallas Regional Chamber is dedicated to promoting even greater economic prosperity, strengthening the voice of business, and improving the quality of life in our region. We serve as a single point of contact for companies, site selection consultants, and corporate real estate executives who are considering a move here. We are proud to connect you with other professionals, and to help you grow your business. It could not be a more exciting time to be living and doing business in the Dallas region, and everyone here at the Chamber looks forward to working with you for many years to come! All Best Wishes,
Dale Petroskey President and CEO

THE DALLAS– FORT WORTH REGION 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, strong regional and state economy, low cost of living, young and skilled labor force, pro-business mindset and absence of corporate and personal income 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. Due to its central location and worldclass transportation infrastructure, DFW is a major international gateway. The region excels in passenger air travel and air cargo operations with the nation’s third busiest airport, DFW International Airport; Dallas Love Field Airport, home to the largest domestic airline in the country; and the world’s first fully industrial airport, Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Our roads and rail lines are remarkable for delivery of freight products across the country. Our region ranks among the top three U.S. metropolitan areas for business expansions, relocations and employment growth. DFW’s young, highly educated workforce of over three million people is growing quickly, providing companies with the abundance of talent they need to make their business a success. Texas’ business climate, combined with the attributes and functionality that Dallas currently holds as a major corporate headquarters destination, 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. We know you will find yourself right at home in the DFW region. We look forward to supporting your business expansion projects.

SUPERIOR COMBINATION OF LOCATION AND ACCESS FEATURING DFW AIRPORT, HIGHWAYS, RAIL AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
LOCATION 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 fourth-largest metro area, conveniently CLAY positioned in the middle of the United States and offering competitiveJACK 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 mid-continent location means saving time on travel—any major U.S. city is less than four hours away.

Mass transit options, including the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system, offer alternative options for getting around the region. 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 businessefficient access to other key ports and distribution centers across the United States and into Mexico.

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 links to Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport, providing convenient access. 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 fi ve stations ending in Denton.

MOBILITY 2035 Mobility 2035 ensures that North Texas commuters are going somewhere. Mobility 2035 is just one in a series of ongoing transportation plans implemented by the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). Their comprehensive blueprint for the region’s multimodal mobility needs is designed to enhance how we travel both now and into 2035, when the population of North Texas is projected to swell from 6.8 million, as it stands currently, to 10 million. The benefits of investing in transportation are evident in every facet of the Mobility 2035 plan. And it’s not just about cars and roads. Rail, bike and pedestrian components are vital to increasing the region’s mobility and ensuring long-term sustainability. Improving efficiencies in both roadway and land use will reduce the burden on the region’s infrastructure and address quality of life concerns.
FUNDED RECOMMENDATIONS Mobility 2035 represents a $98.7 billion blueprint for the continued maintenance and development of the regional transportation system over the next 20 plus years. Mobility 2035 complies with all federal requirements related to the financial aspects of the metropolitan transportation plan. As the Dallas-Fort Worth region continues to grow, additional solutions will be imperative to comprehensively address the ever increasing transportation needs.

COMMUTING PATTERNS 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 live and work 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.

More than 90 percent of people who commute to work here do so by car, truck, or van, which is easy, thanks to our well-developed network of interstate freeways, state highways and tollways connecting job centers to fast-growing new communities.

NON-STOP FLIGHT TIMES FROM DALLAS-FORT WORTH
3:4
It’s common knowledge that the DallasFort Worth region is globally connected. DFW is one of only seven airports in the world offering service to more than 200 destinations. Over a dozen new international routes have been added in the last two years with new destinations on the way. It took DFW International Airport 38 years to extend its reach to 50 international destinations and 24 or more could be added in the next 5 years. Destinations in Europe such as Helsinki, Berlin, Zurich, Barcelona as well as South American cities of Bogata, Brasilia, Oaxaca and Villahermosa will all be within reach. In 2014, service was launched to Shanghai and Hong Kong by American Airlines, as well as to Doha, Qatar by Qatar Airways, and to Abu Dhabi by Etihad Airways. Emirates Airline and Qantas Airways expanded their service from DFW to Dubai and Sydney, respectively, by adding the Airbus A380, the largest passenger aircraft in the world. The number of non-stop flights originating from DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field provides travelers with options as well as convenience. The Wright Amendment, restricting flights from Dallas Love Field, was repealed in October 2014, providing the possibility of adding non-stop service to additional states, further strengthening and enhancing the region’s interconnectivity. New international routes, more carriers and increases in the air service destinations confirm DFW’s place as a global super hub.

REGIONAL POPULATION During the last decade, the Dallas–Fort Worth region was among the nation’s fastest-growing areas, attracting significant job and population growth. 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.

POPULATION DENSITY AND GROWTH While the majority of the population growth from 2000 to 2010 occurred in suburban communities, the urban core and the first-ring suburbs continue to show vibrancy and opportunity due to well-established neighborhoods and dense population concentrations. 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. Just over 17% 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. Over 60% of workers 25 years of age and older have at least some college education, with nearly a third holding a bachelor’s degree or another advanced degree.

DALLAS–FORT WORTH MARKET TAPESTRY For more than 30 years, companies, agencies and organizations have used segmentation to divide and group their consumer markets to more precisely target their best customers and prospects. This targeting method is superior to “scattershot” methods that might attract these preferred groups. Segmentation explains customer diversity, simplifies marketing campaigns, describes lifestyle and lifestage and incorporates a wide range of data. Segmentation systems operate on the theory that people with similar tastes, lifestyles and behaviors seek others with the same tastes—“like seeks like.” These behaviors can be measured, predicted and targeted.
MARKET TAPESTRY The market tapestry is a fascinating snapshot of lifestyle choices. Based on demography and geography, the main purpose of this type of data is targeted marketing efforts, but the high-level picture of types of neighborhoods and the people who live in them based on the activities and expenses of those people is a compelling story all on its own. Some segments develop as a result of age, some show up as a result of money and still others result from ethnic influence.

PEOPLE | MARKET TAPESTRY
ESRI’s Tapestry Segmentation, shown on the map below, combines the “who” of lifestyle demography with the “where” of local neighborhood geography to create a model of various lifestyle classifications or segments of actual neighborhoods with addresses—distinct behavioral market segments. To create this map, U.S. residential areas are divided into 65 distinctive segments based on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics to provide an accurate, detailed description of U.S. neighborhoods. These segments are then grouped into the 12 Tapestry Segmentation LifeMode Summary Groups, which are characterized by lifestyle and lifestage and share an experience such as being born in the same time period or a trait such as affluence.

MIGRATION PATTERNS
Seattle
Domestic migration patterns can illustrate the flow of workers within the country. The reasons people relocate are numerous and can range from quality of life to employment prospects to overall business climate. The origins of people migrating to the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) area are evident through analysis of IRS data. Just as important are the places to which people are moving when they leave DFW. As illustrated here, people relocate to the DFW area from all parts of the country.

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 provides 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 fast-growing 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 Coasts.

LABOR SUPPLY Employers in Dallas–Fort Worth draw from a well-educated and skilled workforce throughout the 13-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.

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.

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.

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.

OCCUPATION CLUSTERS The practice of identifying occupation clusters within a local economy is a relatively new approach to regional development. Similar to how industry clusters categorize businesses by what they produce, occupation clusters focus on grouping people with similar skill sets, abilities, and training levels. Analyzing where these clusters are located helps identify potential investment areas and assists businesses seeking specific labor talent.

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.

INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES Dallas–Fort Worth is home to an impressive group of foreign-based subsidiaries, hosting North American headquarters for many and major operations for others. International corporate investment in the region reflects the strength and diversity of the DFW economy and the stellar access to U.S. markets by both ground and air service and to global markets through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The industries represented create their own synergies with other U.S.based operations and headquarters in the region. For example, the global community has recognized DFW as an important U.S. industry center for telecommunications, locating North American headquarters here for Korea’s Samsung Telecommunications America, China’s Huawei Technologies, France’s Alcatel-Lucent and Sweden’s Ericsson Inc. The region is also the headquarters of contact lens manufacturer and solutions suppliers Novartis AG-owned Alcon and Essilor of America.

The Dallas Regional Chamber works closely with many companies that consider and decide to locate major corporate facilities here, particularly headquarters. Our team knows these decisions are critical to the futures of the companies and the employees. We help companies understand this region fully; from our demographics, labor costs, our transportation assets, our real estate options, or the taxes and incentives that might apply to a project. Often we do it face to face. We visit companies and host executives here; including multi-day visits during which we often engage Dallas area business and civic leaders or subject matter experts with the candidate company team to achieve the peer-to-peer conversations that are so meaningful in selling Dallas. But we’re not just about the cold, hard facts and the sales pitch. We are also about taking good care of the companies and particularly the employees, that make the decision to move here. Corporate moves often impact hundreds, even thousands, of employees and families. Those employees have lots of questions and each family situation is different. For all major corporate relocations, the Chamber offers to meet with employees and families that suddenly have the opportunity to be new Texans. We have held several “town hall” meetings with company employees around the U.S., sharing information and our experiences of living in the Dallas area. Our goal is to help the employees understand our region is a great place to live, raise a family and prosper. Eyes light up when we show pictures of homes and affordable prices, the arts and cultural amenities, our parks and trees and lakes, our foodie places, the outstanding medical care that is here, dog parks, light rail and bike trails and the many facts and anecdotes that help them realize that DFW is a more robust, culturally and socially diverse place than they thought. And those that already know our area well or might be from here just get more excited about the move. Helping employees after a move has been announced is a great benefit to the company and its employees. It’s a lot of fun and very meaningful for the Chamber’s economic development team and an important part of the Dallas Regional Chamber’s corporate recruitment platform.

COST OF DOING BUSINESS
SEATTLE (102)
When it comes to doing business, you can’t get much more affordable than Dallas– Fort Worth in comparison to other major metropolitan areas. Thanks to Texas’ business-friendly tax approach, Dallas and Fort Worth both index well below other major U.S. business centers for state and local taxes. In terms of the largest corporate expenses—labor and rent—both Dallas and Fort Worth rank well below other major U.S. markets, making the region an attractive place to expand or relocate major operations.

CORPORATE BUSINESS CLIMATE COMPARISON
A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS
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.

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 service 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.

MANUFACTURING The Dallas–Fort Worth region is often associated with major headquarters, logistics, distribution and supply chain operations. But did you know that the manufacturing industry makes up nearly 10% of the regional economy? DFW has more manufacturing activity than any other metro area in Texas. The size and scope of operations here create a diverse manufacturing landscape across many sectors. Goods that are built here range from boots and clothing to bricks, steel, plastics, and aerospace components. Just a few of the large manufacturing operations in DFW include the General Motors assembly plant in Arlington, Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, and Texas Instruments in Dallas.

LOGISTICS 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. The region is a global inland port with two airports capable of large-scale cargo operations, Dallas-Fort Worth International and Fort Worth Alliance. Major rail logistics hub operations for the two primary western U.S. railroads, Fort Worth–based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. and Union Pacific Corp., tap into major east-west arteries and provide important links to Mexican markets. By truck, distributors can efficiently move products throughout the central part of the United States, reaching 93 percent of the population within 48 hours.

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 preapproved 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. Company-specific FTZ’s sponsored by DFW Airport include: GM, Sanden, Fossil Partners, Zale, Turbomeca U.S.A., Dal-Tile, The Apparel Group, Matrix Network, Brighton Best International, Lasko and BMW. 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.
For the fourth consecutive year, Alliance Foreign-Trade Zone #196 ranked as the top General Purpose Foreign-Trade Zone in the United States in terms of the value of foreign goods admitted.

FUTURE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT NORTH FORT WORTH POWERHOUSE Twenty-five years ago, Ross Perot Jr. and his team at Hillwood kicked off development of the world’s first industrial airport, Fort Worth Alliance. Anchored by a robust industrial base, it has since evolved into AllianceTexas, an 18,000-acre mixed-use development that sprawls from North Fort Worth into Haslet, Roanoke, and Westlake. Through 2013, AllianceTexas has generated a local economic impact of $50.6 billion. In the last 18 months alone, Hillwood has secured more than 6 million square feet of industrial leases to LG Electronics, Amazon, Flextronics, Carolina Beverage, Heritage Bag Co., Saddle Creek Logistics, Walmart.com, and other tenants.

SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY: HOT CORRIDOR For years, North Texas developers have predicted an industrial boom for southern Dallas. With the confluence of Interstates 20, 35, and 45 and intermodal hubs, it made perfect sense. Now the vision is finally becoming a reality. Major tenants like Kohl’s, L’Oreal, Quaker, BMW, and Home Depot have already staked a claim. Millions of square feet of space are under construction or in the planning stages.

CONNECTING TO THE WORLD
DATA CENTERS Dallas–Fort Worth is located in a near-perfect geographic region for IT hosting and data center operation from the Central Time Zone: the workday is extended for companies operating on both coasts. DFW’s temperate climate and low risk of natural disaster help 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 high-speed 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.

LOCATION
DALLAS / FORT WORTH
North Texas’ central location in the U.S. is a significant attraction for data centers that service major companies and headquarters across financial services, energy, health care and other sectors.
HOME TO 40 FORTUNE 1000 COMPANIES
LOW POWER COSTS
AVAILABILITY OF NETWORK PROVIDERS
Dallas-Fort Worth has some of the lowest energy costs per kWh compared to other metros in the U.S.
One of the highest accumulated network provider hubs in the world – 3 major carrier hotels (400 S. Akard, 2323 Bryan, 1950 Stemmons)
MAP: ERCOT
TEXAS ELECTRIC POWER GRID - ERCOT 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.

OFFICE CLUSTERS 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.
DFW COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE:
ATTRACTIVE RENTS WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CHOICES 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.

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 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.

Rising business costs and constrictive regulatory environments raise the risks and costs to a business. Stability of the political, economic and legal systems is 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, business-friendly 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-towork” 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.

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 fewer 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.

SITE-SPECIFIC INCENTIVES (Continued)
DATA CENTER SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION A data center exemption applies to state sales and use tax on certain items necessary and essential to the operation of a qualified data center. The program provides 100% exemption of sales taxes on business personal property essential to data center operations. The sales tax exemption may be available for 10 to 15 years and can be accessed by owners and tenants in single- or multi-tenant data center properties. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDIT The R&D tax credit provides companies the option of selecting either a sales tax exemption on property purchased by persons engaged in qualified research activities or the franchise tax credit. The bill provides a sales tax exemption for property purchased, stored or used by a person engaged in qualified research, or alternatively, a tax credit equal to 5% of the difference between a company’s qualified research expenses during the tax year that the credit is claimed and 50% of the average qualified research expenses for the three preceding tax years (base period).
LOCAL INCENTIVES 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.
2015
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 preapproved 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. 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.

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 fiveyear 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 minority-owned businesses and small businesses located in state-designated 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.

RATES AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN DFW WATER AND SEWER 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 the globe. The redundancy in connectivity that this affords translates to minimal risk of downtime for any business operating in the vicinity.

ELECTRICITY 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.

Dallas-Fort Worth has not one but two major arts districts. The Dallas Arts District, which is anchored by the Dallas Museum of Art, Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, and AT&T Performing Arts Center, is nearly 70 acres—the largest urban arts district in the country. Here you can catch a performance of Texas Ballet Theater, a Broadway touring production, classical or local musicians, a night of live storytelling, TED talks, movies and music under the stars, festivals, art exhibits, and so much more. We’d be willing to bet you could spend every weekend in our Arts District and never run out of new things to do. The Fort Worth Cultural District claims fi ve internationally recognized museums, including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and The Modern. Beyond our fantastic cultural centers, DFW is home to hundreds of smaller museums and public galleries; scores of professional and community theaters; and dozens of local symphony and chamber orchestras, dance troupes, and opera associations. DFW is Texas’ most arts intensive metro area on a per capita basis—meaning we spend a lot of money per person on cultural arts. No matter what artistic pursuits you enjoy, you can find them here.

ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS The fun here knows no bounds. You could start with the 75-acre masterplanned development that is Victory Park—packed with trendy shops and restaurants; the House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe; The W Hotel, with the famous Ghostbar; and American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks and the Stars, as well as concert venue extraordinaire— and move on to McKinney Avenue, which teems at night with hordes of pretty people going from hot spot to hot spot all
the way from The Rattlesnake Bar at The Ritz to The Magnolia Theater at the West Village. For something a little more laid-back (but no less entertaining), you could hit Greenville Avenue for its funky shops, rooftop bars, and live music at the historic Granada Theater; or you could bop around Bishop Arts, Oak Cliff ’s repository of everything cool and home to some of Dallas’ most sought-after restaurants (Lucia, Stock & Barrel, Oddfellows, to
name just a very few) and bars. The suburbs have more than their fair share of things to do, too. Plano’s Shops at Legacy brims with boutique shopping, bestin-class restaurants and bars, and the Angelika Film Center; while Frisco Square has Cinemark Next Gen-XD Theater, Toyota Stadium, and amenities such as the Black Box Theatre at Frisco Discovery Center. But we’re only scratching the surface here; there’s so much more to explore.

Walking, running, hiking, and biking are popular here, and we’ve got plenty of places to explore outdoors. The city of Dallas has more than 100 miles of hike and bike trails—and outside the city, where urban life gives way to more pastoral pursuits, you’ll find so many more. The Katy, Santa Fe, and White Rock trails are lovely paved paths, but if a walk (or ride) in the woods is more to your liking, it’s only a matter of effort. Certified Master Naturalist Bill Holston recommends Cedar Ridge Preserve in South Dallas for its wooded hills and wildlife; Dogwood Canyon in Cedar Hill for its hilly terrain and flowering trees in spring; and Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve in Plano for its creeks, ponds, and easy-to-follow routes.

HOUSING COSTS Based on the cost of housing compared to median family income, home prices in the DFW region are some of the most affordable in the country according to the Urban Institute. Stability characterizes the DFW housing market. Its ability to remain strong during global economic fluctuations has been sustained through a combination of a lower cost of living compared with other major metropolitan areas and a diverse economic base that has kept unemployment figures well below national levels. The bottom line for families is that a dollar buys more square feet per home in DFW. 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.

APARTMENT COSTS Apartment dwelling in the DFW area depends on your preferences. All types and sizes are found throughout our region. Communities range from traditional apartment complexes to luxury high-rise buildings to large-scale communities with every bell and whistle imaginable (including someone who will come and change a blown light bulb!). Some newer apartment communities offer amenities such as dog runs, workout facilities, tanning services and community activities ranging from movies on the lawn to wine tastings to Monday Night Football parties. In recent years, mixed-use communities— which include not only multiple apartment buildings, but also restaurants, shops, movie theaters and underground parking—have popped up all over, appealing to a segment of people who desire an urban, walkable neighborhood experience without the responsibilities of homeownership.

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 nearly 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 over 83,000 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 an 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. Ten area schools were recognized as 2014 Blue Ribbon Schools, a national honor awarded to schools that have achieved academic excellence or made significant progress in closing the achievement gap.

CHOOSING A DISTRICT You have lots of choices for schooling in the Dallas area: public, public charter, private or parochial, or home schooling. Should you want to send your kids to public school, rest assured that the Dallas-Fort Worth area has many fine public schools. In Texas, public school districts operate independently and are governed by locally elected school boards that locally implement state guidelines through a selection of instructional programs, curriculum and local expectations that often exceed state minimums. Local districts are governed by an independently elected school board of trustees that hires a superintendent as CEO; sets a district philosophy (vision and mission) and local policies; selects a curriculum within the state guidelines; and sets the local ISD tax rate, budget and district boundaries. Here’s what you need to consider in finding the right school district for you.

These schools are subject to fewer state laws than other public schools with the idea of ensuring fiscal and academic accountability without undue regulation of instructional methods or pedagogical innovation. Like school districts, charter schools are monitored and accredited under the statewide testing and accountability system. 2015

PRIVATE SCHOOLS Parents choose to send their children to private schools for all kinds of reasons. Some elect private schools for their kids for religious or moral reasons. Others are concerned about having smaller class sizes and more individual attention for the students. Others still are focused on the highest possible learning standards and rigorous college prep.

RESEARCHING SCHOOLS
The Dallas region offers a variety of private school options. Some of the terms you will encounter as you look at private school options include: > Learning differences schools – These schools provide for students with learning differences across the spectrum and can range from pre-K through 12th grade. > Boarding schools – Several of the single-gender private schools offer full-time boarding as well as day student options. > Language/culture specific – Some schools offer immersion in specific languages, such as French, Chinese and Japanese. Many of these schools offer Saturday and summer options for
2015
families who want students to attend a traditional school and supplement with cultural and language immersion. > Montessori method – a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood.

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.
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.

FORT WORTH AND VICINITY The city of Fort Worth is the 16th largest city in the U.S., with a population of 758,738 (2011 estimate). 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 Places to Live and Work.” 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 a major intermodal distribution center for many large companies. This area has been the catalyst for the most recent growth. Several companies call Fort Worth home, including American Airlines, 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.
