City officials say the new policy will promote real estate development and job creation in traditionally underserved areas by offering a simplified process. It will also streamline the process for smaller developers,
"We want to create more offices for growth and development, corporate relocations for southern Dallas in particular," said Council Member Casey Thomas. "If we have one corporation, just one, relocate in southern Dallas - it will be a game-changer."
