The City of DeSoto is witnessing an unprecedented boom in its business sector, with a significant increase in growth and investment opportunities.
Spanning over 21.67 square miles, the city offers more than 182.6 acres and upwards of 156,000 square feet of space for new and existing businesses looking to expand or invest.
In a recent development, the city has issued 22 certificates of occupancy, 14 permits for commercial occupancy and commercial remodels, and 25 permits for signs.
The surge in development is a continuing sign of growth and a transformation into a thriving business hub.
Entrepreneurs and investors are being drawn to DeSoto, attracted by the city’s business-friendly environment and strategic economic planning.
The DeSoto Development Corporation, a non-profit organization funded by sales tax revenue, has played a pivotal role in attracting businesses to the city.
New businesses are choosing to establish their roots in the city, contributing to a diverse and robust economic landscape.
A Stop N Go Gyros, a restaurant serving healthy Mediterranean cuisine, will soon be opening in the city next to the Wingstop at the intersection of Hampton Road and Pleasant Run Road.
Other businesses, such as Chick-fil-A and Starbucks, are currently being built along Beltline Road in the city.
Texas Health Resources has also invested in the city, which is investing over $1,400,000 in a new 3,507-square-foot facility.
The city continues to make strides in economic development, soon breaking ground on the McCowan Aquatic and Recreation Center, an 80,000-square-foot building.
The project is slated to break ground in June and has a current construction schedule of 19 months.
