GrowSouth: Maximizing the Potential of Southern Dallas
Dear Friends!
Dallas is becoming a great city. There are many signs of that happening. We have a vibrant business community that is succeeding and growing even as the rest of the nation struggles. Our downtown is coming alive with increased convention and visitors’ business and the excitement of a world-class arts district. And over the next year, we will complete and open key projects like the Belo Garden, the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park, Perot Museum, City Performance Hall and the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge that will redefine our city. As a city we have great challenge on our “to-do” list and that item is to leverage our single biggest untapped resource and turn it into an annuity that will pay dividends to our city and citizens for generations to come—we must smartly develop Southern Dallas. I have devised a blueprint “GrowSouth,” which is a comprehensive strategy to build a foundation for sustainable growth, and outline five key projects that we believe can jumpstart growth in key areas in the next three years. The City of Dallas has presented a work plan that supports what they can accomplish as part of “GrowSouth” including short term and long term infrastructure and capital improvements that will support and enhance growth in Southern Dallas.
Take a moment to check out my GrowSouth presentation.
