The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex hosts over 10,000 corporate headquarters, making it the largest hub of corporate headquarters in the United States.
Fort Worth has excelled in a time of economic downturn by attracting new corporations. For example, Phoenix based DT Credit Corporation, a car sales and financing organization, moved to Fort Worth and created 100 new jobs for Fort Worth residents. DT Credit Corp’s CentrePort Business Park call center opened in West Fort Worth in early May 2009.
David Berzina, executive VP of Economic Development for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce: “This is another huge win for the city of Fort Worth, which continues to see a high level of economic development interest and activity, despite the current economy. DT Credit Corporation’s expansion into Fort Worth will not only create jobs and build on our city’s economic vitality, but will also enhance the quality of life for our businesses and residents.”
