Nothing says it better than a fact chart of how Dallas, our precious city, is withering away as it ages. Dallas is no different than other maturing U.S. cities, all of whom have problems along the same lines: declining job market, median household incomes dropping, diminishing credit rates, diminishing home ownership, difficulty attracting Millennials, increase in poverty and income inequality, unsustainable infrastructure, plummeting park scores and an unbalanced tax base. Yet Dallas is unique in that it sits in a geographic area where growth is booming around us. Plano, Frisco and Fort Worth are killing it, and we are three hour drive from the most booming city in the world, Austin.
Why is our core deteriorating? And why is Fair Park so vital to it?
We have convened a blue ribbon panel of speakers to help us find the answers: Don Williams, Byron Carlock, Angela Hunt, and our own Jon Anderson. Join us this Thursday, 7:00 to 9:00 pm, in the Founders Hall at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, 9800 Preston Road. Seating is limited, so RSVP today!
