Morgan Stanley’s Dallas hub and its 3,800-plus jobs will add heft to the region’s growing financial services sector. But it’s the capital decisions that will drive Y’all Street’s impact, a Nasdaq Texas executive says.
Site Selection noted 1,368 corporate investment projects in Texas in 2024—more than doubling second-place Illinois and surpassing last year’s total by 114—as Texas continues its commanding economic leadership. DFW led the way with 36% of Texas' total projects.
The campaign builds on the region's thriving tech sector as the foundation of Dallas-Fort Worth's growing biotech and life science ecosystem. “What we’re seeing now is the cumulative effect of convergence across industries—and that gives DFW an edge," says Mike Rosa, the DRC's economic development chief.
The DRC's new VP of Economic Development, Kelly Cloud, is spearheading efforts to attract startups and established life science companies to Dallas-Fort Worth.
The Dallas Regional Chamber is taking its 'Texas Two-Step' on the road, telling corporate headquarters prospects 'how business growth begins with one move to Dallas-Fort Worth.' As of mid-July, the team is tracking 115 active projects. Of those, 85 originated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hitting the road will add fuel to the fire of recent announcements and current corporate location projects, writes DRC economic development chief Mike Rosa.
“Our students don’t really want to enroll in college, they want to enroll in a job," Dr. Joe May of Dallas College said. Here are takeaways from a discussion on the college's restructure and its renovation plans spurred by a billion-dollar bond fund.
Years of steady economic success and our region's brand as a great location have provided much-needed momentum for 2020, writes Mike Rosa, who leads economic development for the Dallas Regional Chamber.
