Dallas has one of the most competitive incentive packages in the United States; it's designed to support your company's growth. The City of Dallas' incentive package can assist your company to establish a facility in Dallas or help a Dallas company achieve its expansion dreams. Working through a public/private partnership, Dallas can offer:

The public/private partnership program has served as the catalyst for numerous flourishing redevelopment projects throughout Dallas. Your company may qualify for a package of incentives depending on the size and location of the project and the number of jobs created or retained. Office of Economic Development staff can provide an overview of available incentive programs and explain the qualification factors. Throughout the application process, the Office of Economic Development will act as a liaison to coordinate the other government agencies involved to ensure all of your business needs are satisfied. All incentives are subject to City Council approval.
