The Dallas Business Journal just ranked City of Carrollton as the Number 1 Largest North Texas Economic Development Agency based on the dollar value of deals in 2012. Carrollton tops the list with 112 deals valuing $356,721,000.
Carrollton is bound by a sense of community. It is a big city that feels like a small town, a place where neighbors know and care about each other, where family, community and church still come first and where people continue to look out for each other.
Carrollton is connected not only via rail transit and highways, but also connected in that family and friends are rooted here. The City is connected to its past; it is connected to the DFW Metroplex though its location and rail ties; and it is connected to a global community, both through its proximity to DFW Airport and its diverse community.
The key to Carrollton’s success and our triple-A bond rating is our businesslike approach to development. We guarantee 10-day or less turnaround on building permits and quick planning and zoning approvals.
Carrollton, an “inner-ring” suburb, is conveniently located 20-minutes from everything, including shipping, restaurants, nightlife, and by rail to downtown Dallas’ Arts and Entertainment districts. In addition, it is convenient and easy to do business with the city, especially from a developer or resident’s perspective.
