Texas’ push to become the nation’s capital for business is continuing to build momentum thanks to a strong working relationship between state lawmakers and corporations, according to legislators and business advocates who spoke during a series of panels in Dallas on Tuesday.
The event, hosted by The Texas Tribune at the Dallas Regional Chamber headquarters, highlighted the fast-growing financial sector in the Dallas area and the state policy fueling that growth. The Dallas-Forth Worth region has been dubbed “Y’all Street” in recent years because of its rising status as a competitor to the historic financial hub on Wall Street — a competition that panelists said they intend to win.
