Located at the center of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Irving, Texas is a diverse and vibrant community and is home to more than 200,000 residents. Filled with beautiful homes, welcoming neighborhoods and excellent schools, the city boasts a rare commodity: the warmth and charm of small-town life, set within the vitality of an international community.

More than 10,000 companies operate in Irving, including the global headquarters of four Fortune 500 corporations and offices of over 30 more. With a vast transportation network, crisscrossed by five major highways and links to four interstates, Irving is rapidly becoming an international business center. This business-friendly city offers entrepreneurs a world-renowned, master-planned business and residential community—Las Colinas—and a Class A office-and-distribution business park with direct links to DFW Airport.

“We work hard to recruit relocating companies, encourage new business start-ups and support the continued growth of existing ones,” says John M. Bonnot, Vice President of Economic Development of the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber. “Our strategic location next to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, vast transportation network, , business-friendly city government, low cost of living, , a large and highly educated workforce, along with no state income tax, are some of the primary drivers attracting companies to the area.”

This five-minute segment educates viewers on the economic development and growth opportunities taking place in Irving and informs about the current projects underway.

“The economic growth taking shape in Irving will be driven by opportunities for professional and business services, while maintaining the friendliness of a small town,” says Bonnot. “Our existing base of amenities for businesses is coupled with recreational opportunities, including arts and culture activities, sporting events, shopping and dining venues, libraries and community parks. Irving is not only a great place to do business, but it’s also a great place to live and raise a family.”
