Plano to consider zoning request for EDS campus ahead of AT&T’s relocation

Plano’s Planning and Zoning Commission is set to consider a rezoning request for part of the former Electronic Data Systems campus as AT&T moves forward with plans to relocate its global headquarters to Plano.

The rezoning request is scheduled to go before the commission at its Feb. 2 meeting.

What you need to know: The request covers 99 acres at the intersection of Parkwood Boulevard and Legacy Drive, including the part of the former EDS campus at 5400 Legacy Drive, where AT&T is set to move its headquarters. AT&T CEO John Stankey announced Jan. 5 the company is set to relocate its global headquarters to the 54-acre campus in Plano’s Legacy District.

What it means: The zoning change would reclassify the area as commercial employment. City documents state the primary focus of the commercial employment district is “corporate headquarters and research facilities arranged in a campus-like setting.”

Medical City announces blood drives across Dallas-Fort Worth amid blood shortage

Medical City facilities across Dallas-Fort Worth will host blood drives in February and March to continue to bring aid to the region, according to a news release.

The details: Severe winter weather at the end of January has created a significant need for blood donations in North Texas after forcing many donor centers and blood drives to close for several days, according to previous reporting.

The winter months are already a slow time for blood donor turnout, which is why Medical City officials are asking for eligible donors to consider donating at one of these drives.
