WESTERN COLLIN COUNTYBooming. That’s the best way to describe western Collin County, one of the fast-est-growing and most-affl uent areas in the Dallas–Fort Worth region. The area’s growth is being driven by corporate relo-cations, consolidations and expansions. Most notable among the relocations is Toyota’s North American headquarters in West Plano that will employ thousands of workers.

The Star development in Frisco is the headquarters and training facility of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys and attracts visitors daily. The development is a collaboration between the Cowboys, the city of Frisco and the Frisco Independent School District, whose football teams will play their games at the Ford Center at the Star, an indoor stadium.

The western portion of Collin County is home to several Fortune 1000 fi rms, including J.C.Penney, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and Alliance Data Systems. The area also is home to the North American headquarters for several other major fi rms, including Ericsson and Frito-Lay North America.

Located north of Dallas, the area is served by North Central Expressway, the North Dallas Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike and State Highway 121.
