ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Our region is a dynamic business hub where companies flourish. Nestled in the vibrant Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, home to a staggering 8.09 million residents, we're part of the fourth largest population center in the U.S. 🇺🇸 But that's just the beginning.
Here, the metropolitan economy ranks fourth nationally and tenth globally, offering boundless development prospects. Texas' pro-business environment sweetens the deal with competitive tax rates, freeport exemptions, foreign-trade zones, enterprise zones, and more, all designed to cut business costs and foster corporate success.
Not to mention our talent pool of over 4 million qualified workers, affordable housing options, stellar public education, and a cost of living below the national average. Join us in the Metroport Chamber, where economic development thrives!
