There are many reasons to choose Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) to do business in.
The main reason is that it ranks second among international cities for business climate, which targets costs and risk of doing business in a particular location. DFW has very low office costs and low relative business costs. Companies that begin business in DFW also have reassurance that their employees will have a high quality of living. It is an affordable metroplex, ranking fourth and fifth on cost of living and gross product per capita. This combination is powerful, and a factor that draws high swarms of people to the area. Due to the low average age in DFW, there is also a high volume of potential workers available that many cities do not have the luxury of. DFW benefits also from its land transportation networks, which ranks seventh against all North American cities. The central geography of being in Texas also makes east and west coast interests more available. Neutrality in location is a vital business advantage that few major cities have.
Overall, what makes DFW so fantastic for business is the availability of new wider scopes of markets. There is a diverse population, with strong Hispanic influence and African American influence. The potential for these new audience groups I believe is a factor not mentioned in the article but something to remember.
