Dallas
City Mayor
Mayor
Tom Lepperd
Since
being elected Mayor in 2007, I clearly have had one of the best
jobs in the country. With over 1.2 million people, Dallas is the
country’s 8th largest city and one of the best places in the
world to live.
Dallas
has the perfect blend of metropolitan sophistication, Southern hospitality,
and big flashes of cowboy and Tejano tossed into the mix. This city
not only celebrates its diversity, but understands it is one of
our most critical assets for competing in a global economy.
Dallas
is proud to be home to major Fortune 500 firms, but at the same
time embraces small businesses and entrepreneurs. And our business-friendly
city is ready to help new firms to put down roots, especially in
Downtown Dallas and our sprawling Southern Sector, where there is
plenty of room to grow.
And
I would encourage residents and visitors alike to take some time
and rediscover Big D.
Downtown
Dallas has seen a tremendous rebirth. In one corner is our Arts
District with its world renowned museums and performance halls,
including those at the new AT&T Performing Arts Center. In another
corner - Victory Park and the American Airlines Center. Rising downtown
is the Omni Dallas Convention Center Hotel, and nearby is historic
Main Street where many buildings have been restored in a neighborhood
thousands now call home.
Surrounding
downtown we have eclectic Deep Ellum, historic West End, the up-and-coming
Cedars and trendy Uptown. Beyond that, travel into Oak Cliff and
visit the Dallas Zoo, Bishop Arts District or Trinity Audubon Center.
Watch the iconic Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge – designed by Santiago
Calatrava - going up over the Trinity River. Step out to South Dallas
and visit Fair Park, home of the State Fair of Texas. Travel to
the Dallas Arboretum, our city’s garden showcase. Or take
a run on the Katy Trail, around Kiest Park or White Rock Lake. And
don’t forget all the incredible shopping throughout Dallas.
