LOGISTICSDallas–Fort Worth’s central U.S. location provides an advantageous distribution hub, with quick access to rail, air, and over-the-ground truck transportation. The region is a global inland port with two airports capable of large-scale cargo operations, Dallas-Fort Worth International and Fort Worth Alliance. Major rail logistics hub operations for the two primary western U.S. railroads, Fort Worth–based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. and Union Pacifi c Corp., tap into major east-west arteries and provide important links to Mexican markets. By truck, distributors can effi ciently move products throughout the central part of the United States, reaching 93 percent of the population within 48 hours.

INCEN T IVES

FOREIGN-TRADE ZONES (FTZs) provide duty-free or deferred payment of goods processed at plants engaged in international trade. The DFW area currently has four FTZs. Under a new approval, the six-county DFW area (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Grayson and Rockwall counties) has been preapproved by the federal government as eligible foreign-trade zone property. With the agreement of local offi cials, the federal government will provide any eligible business with a foreign-trade zone designation on an expedited and simplifi ed basis. Company-specifi c FTZ’s sponsored by DFW Airport include: GM, Sanden, Fossil Partners, Zale, Turbomeca U.S.A., Dal-Tile, The Apparel Group, Matrix Network, Brighton Best International, Lasko and BMW.

FREEPORT TAX EXEMPTIONS allow local governing bodies the option to exempt personal property consisting of goods, wares, merchandise or ores other than oil, natural gas and petroleum. Eligible property must be transported out of the state within 175 days of acquisition, but may be assembled, stored, manufactured, processed or fabricated locally. Triple Freeport zones are exempt from city, county and school district property taxes on inventory.

S FUTURE INDUSTRIALDEVELOPMENT

NORTH FORT WORTH POWERHOUSE

SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY: HOT CORRIDOR

Twenty-fi ve years ago, Ross Perot Jr. and his team at Hillwood kicked off development of the world’s fi rst industrial airport, Fort Worth Alliance. Anchored by a robust industrial base, it has since evolved into AllianceTexas, an 18,000-acre mixed-use development that sprawls from North Fort Worth into Haslet, Roanoke, and Westlake. Through 2013, AllianceTexas has generated a local economic impact of $50.6 billion. In the last 18 months alone, Hillwood has secured more than 6 million square feet of industrial leases to LG Electronics, Amazon, Flextronics, Carolina Beverage, Heritage Bag Co., Saddle Creek Logistics, Walmart.com, and other tenants.

For years, North Texas developers have predicted an industrial boom for southern Dallas. With the confl uence of Interstates 20, 35, and 45 and intermodal hubs, it made perfect sense. Now the vision is fi nally becoming a reality. Major tenants like Kohl’s, L’Oreal, Quaker, BMW, and Home Depot have already staked a claim. Millions of square feet of space are under construction or in the planning stages.
