"Not too long ago I was at an economic summit hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and one of the speakers was Steve Browns, the real estate editor for the Dallas Morning News for over 40 years," she recalls. "One of the questions from the crows was, “Where’s the next boom area in North Texas?”  Steve replied, 'Have y’all been to Waxahachie? That’s the spot to watch.'”

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' investment and development firm, Blue Star Land, is developing a mixed-use project on a 120-acre site in Waxahachie. Partnering with Lincoln Property Company, their plans include a 70-acre business park featuring residential, industrial, retail, and commercial buildings. The first phase is already underway. "Waxahachie is just 35 minutes from downtown Dallas, and has a private and growing airport, spendable income, an educated workforce and low crime with population expected growth to be about 4 to 5% annually," adds Cuskey.
