The North Texas Commission is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that advocates for regional issues, educates North Texas leaders and convenes stakeholders.
The North Texas Commission is a regional organization aimed at keeping North Texas globally competitive. NTC works with business leaders and active legislators to align priorities towards a unified, motivated and innovative force in the global economy.
Operating as usual
The NTC played a major role in shaping the DFW Airport we know today. It’s great to see that in part with American Airlines, DFW contributes over $37 billion to the local economy each year.
With vaccines on the rise and travel restrictions easing, things are looking up for American Airlines as it prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary operating out of DFW.

Today, North Texas school and business leaders, trustees, teachers, parents, and students participate in a press conference to urge legislators to flow the $18 billion in federal stimulus funds to Texas schools now.
Proof that hard work pays off! Following efforts to ensure a complete count during the #2020Census, Texas has gained 2 Congressional Seats in D.C.

Texas has the 4th highest property taxes for industrial projects in the nation – 61% higher than the national average. That creates a huge barrier to new jobs.

Texas needs to renew Chapter 313. #txlege #madeintexas #manufacturingmatters #texasjobs
