Course Description
Plano Economic Update
Since the 1980s, Plano has transformed into a thriving economic powerhouse, driven by landmark developments like Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and regional shopping centers like Collin Creek Mall. These early catalysts helped shape the city into a hub for corporate headquarters, retail, and residential expansion. However, Plano has not rested on its past successes. To remain competitive, the City has aggressively reinvested in itself through major redevelopment projects, including the revitalization of downtown Plano, the Collin Creek redevelopment, infill development on corporate campuses, and strategic infrastructure improvements. By embracing innovation and fostering a pro-business environment, Plano continues to evolve, ensuring its position as a premier destination for companies, residents, and investors alike.
