Doug McDonald, Deputy City Manager, and Michael Talley, Director of Economic Development for the City of Plano, will provide an insider’s perspective on how major corporate relocations and transformative redevelopment projects are driving economic growth and reshaping the region. Drawing on their direct involvement, they will discuss the lasting impacts of AT&T’s headquarters relocation and the redevelopment of Willow Bend Mall, anchored by the Dallas Stars’ new arena, highlighting the effects on job creation, redevelopment activity, market demand, and appraisal considerations.
