OUR IMPACT
Let’s discuss the big D…
Dallas is our lens. North Texas is the region we’re building for.
Dallas is big — big growth, big opportunity, and big stakes. Here’s where we are, and what Project Texas is building to move the region forward.
Dallas-Fort Worth is growing fast, but too often leaders work across sectors in parallel instead of in alignment — especially in education, healthcare, and economic opportunity.
North Texas Nexus convenes leaders quarterly to coordinate priorities, build trust, and move from conversation to shared action.
Student outcomes trail peer cities in key areas, and the next generation needs stronger pathways into leadership, networks, and real-world opportunity.
North Texas Accelerator prepares rising leaders through applied learning, mentorship, and access to regional and global leaders.
North Texas needs a clearer, shared picture of where we stand on education, health, engagement, and economic participation, so improvement is targeted and measurable.
Civic Health Index makes progress visible with accessible indicators and peer-city comparisons that support smarter decisions and accountability.
Civic engagement lags behind several major metros, and too many people feel disconnected from institutions or overwhelmed by information they don’t trust.

Dallas is stepping onto a bigger stage, but the region needs a unifying public moment that builds pride, belonging, and momentum, so growth feels shared and sustainable.
