AT&T’s plan to relocate its global headquarters to Plano is moving into a new phase as city officials prepare to consider a package of economic incentives tied to the $1.35 billion redevelopment project.

What you need to know: Plano City Council will consider two economic development agreements Feb. 23 that would offer $20 million in financial incentives to AT&T in exchange for establishing the company’s global headquarters in Plano’s Legacy District. If approved, the agreements would support the redevelopment of the former Electronic Data Systems campus, marking Plano’s first major corporate headquarters redevelopment project.

Breaking it down: Under the proposed agreements, the city would offer a mix of grants, fee waivers and long-term property tax rebates. In return, AT&T would be required to build at least 2 million square feet of space and invest a minimum of $1.35 billion in construction costs, according to city documents. Additionally, AT&T would be required to occupy the new building by Dec. 31, 2029 and create, transfer or retain up to 10,000 full-time equivalent jobs.

Up to 5 million visitors are expected to descend on Dallas-Fort Worth this summer for the FIFA World Cup, and Richardson city officials are working to ensure that some of those visitors spend time and money in Richardson.

Assistant City Manager Michaela Dollar and Chief of Police Gary Tittle presented city marketing and public safety strategies to Richardson City Council on Feb. 16. The World Cup is set to run June 11-July 19, with nine games hosted at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium.

The approach: Dollar said the city worked with outside consultants to develop a marketing strategy that will position Richardson as a “premier international destination.” The city also plans to support businesses directly by providing information on reaching visitors, participating in the North Texas Business Connect Program and registering a watch party.

More details: Tittle said the police department will be monitoring hotel and motel occupancy, Dallas Area Rapid Transit safety, advertised events and pop-up celebrations. Tittle said “crime follows density,” so the department will work to monitor any spaces with heavier-than-normal crowds.
