What you need to know: The city is providing 1Finity a $2.3 million business grant and waiving $130,000 in permit fees to facilitate the move that will see its existing Dallas and Richardson offices into the new space.

In exchange, the company is committing to a 12-year lease, a minimum $13 million capital investment in tenant improvements, and the retention and creation of at least 500 full-time jobs, according to the release.

Quote of note: “We are really starting to create a cluster around network businesses, and [1Finity] is going to fit into our ecosystem very well,” Richardson City Manager Don Magner said. “We look forward to working with them for many years.”
