Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson pushed back against claims that businesses have lost confidence in the city’s downtown<\/a>, calling the narrative “a bunch of bull” as officials considered incentives tied to a proposed $1.3 billion office tower development in his email newsletter published Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Local ABC affiliate WFAA 8 reported that Johnson said Dallas has led in post-pandemic economic recovery<\/a>, highlighting that it has attracted major business investments, including a new Goldman Sachs campus expected to employ approximately 5,000 people<\/a> and Frontier Communications’ relocation of its headquarters from Connecticut to Dallas, and Morgan Stanley considering an expansion.<\/p>\n

“Morgan Stanley choosing Dallas<\/a> as a new regional hub would be a huge win for the fast-growing Y’all Street sector of the city,” Johnson wrote in his email newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article also pointed out that Nasdaq, the Texas Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange are “coming to town<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Johnson acknowledged that Neiman Marcus did close its downtown store<\/a>, but it still plans to invest in its NorthPark Center location, about 13 minutes from downtown Dallas, and that Fifth Third<\/a> and the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> will still be in the city, but not in Downtown.<\/p>\n

“FIFA chose Downtown Dallas \u2014 over many other interested cities \u2014 as the home of its international broadcast center for the World Cup<\/a> and selected the region to host more matches than any other,” Johnson said in the newsletter.<\/p>\n

“Does that sound like a loss of confidence, or does it sound like winning,” he asked. “The truth is that Dallas is safer, stronger, and more vibrant than it was before this Administration inherited a city that had uncompetitive tax rates, increasing crime, and police ranks that had been decimated.”<\/p>\n

He pointed out, however, that there is still more to be done.<\/p>\n

“The work is not finished,” Johnson wrote. “The City Council will soon consider asking voters to approve a public safety bond package<\/a> to give Dallas a police academy worthy of its police department and to shore up the Dallas Police & Fire Pension System to finally resolve a lingering mess that past leaders left behind. This year\u2019s budget also figures to be a challenging one, and it will be important to work closely with the city manager to make appropriate cuts and to ensure that public safety remains the top priority.”<\/p>\n

In April, Gov. Greg Abbott praised<\/a> Texas for being named the Best State for Business for the 22nd year in a row by Chief Executive magazine.<\/p>\n
