SIGNIFICANT PROJECTSThe Dallas-Fort Worth region is well known for taking on very large construction projects. They range from public infrastructure projects, such as the expansion of Interstate 35 and extending and connecting regional transit systems, to the creation of entirely new business parks and mixed-use developments such as Cypress Waters (Coppell), CityLine (Richardson), and Legacy West (Plano), to land reclamation for parks and recreational development. No matter where you travel in North Texas, large-scale construction projects are underway to improve the quality of life for area residents.

Part of a $100 million investment AT&T is making to improve its downtown headquarters, the Discovery District is a fi rst-of-its-kind “urban tech campus,” a showcase for new technology and innovation, and a green space with arts, music, food, and retail.

SOUTHERN GATEWAYThe I-35E/US 67 Project is a Texas Department of Transportation project that is developing long-term transportation and operational improvements with the ultimate goal to improve safety, congestion relief, traffi c operations, address roadway defi ciencies, and improve system linkage.
