On Thursday, the North Texas Commission Board of Directors approved a resolution, pledging their support for this effort to further enhance worldwide prestige for the region, and to create “substantial economic activity and positive fiscal impacts for local taxing jurisdictions.”

“This regional effort has an economic impact of hundreds of millions of dollars that will allow us to fund efficient, better government,” said Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck. “We urge all businesses, cities, counties and citizens throughout the region to join in and support this positive enterprise.”
