City of Dallas Economic Development Committee is discussing “Opportunity Zones 2.0” to submit for recommendation to Governor’s office.
South Dallas Fair Park area continues to be a highly qualified area.
Need much better distribution of why to developers this time if selected.

…Though these ARE NOT City of Dallas funds or incentives, any councilmember who ends up having an OZ fund in their district can scrutinize a particular development that is utilizing OZ money and collect data/community input about that development.

Sylvia Collins died in the explosion.
She taught me the sounds, look and most important, actions of genuine advocacy.
To know her was to love her and to love her was to stand with her.
The lessons you taught me will never be forgotten.
Rest well my fellow Tejano Democrat.

South Dallas’ Fair Park and surrounding areas are worth investing in.
There’s still so much economic potential to be tapped into.

The South Dallas Fair Park Streetcar represents the continued forward development of the community.
Just like the economic goals for the area, the streetcar is part of a long term plan to build on progress.

“The removal comes amid the South Dallas Renaissance Initiative, a local push for arts and economic development. Burton argued that erasing the crosswalks is an attempt to “erase the spirit of oversight” and the lessons of the BLM movement.”
