Recent Capital Bond Programs, Millions

Economic Development Plan

The Dallas City Council adopted a new economic development plan in 2005. The plan, Strategic Engagement, has four main strategies for preparing Dallas for the future:
  • Build on core assets to create a vital center city that is the region’s urban focal point
  • Invest in catalyst projects in southern Dallas to capitalize on its unique global trade potential and to provide a more balanced job and commuting environment
  • Support redevelopment in retail and business centers throughout the city, particularly on transit routes, to serve Dallas’ neighborhoods
  • Strengthen Dallas business clusters (headquarters, media, telecommunications, IT services, trade and diversified manufacturing)
