Plano’s story is simply remarkable. Once a quiet farming community, Plano transformed into a city well known across the country for our people, places, progress and prosperity. Today, Plano is home to more than 271,000 residents, several Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 10,000 businesses. As the fourth largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Plano has emerged as a premier place to live well, work hard and play hard.
Plano continues to be chosen by companies large and small as a desirable place to do business. Plano remains attractive because of what I call the formula for a successful city: safety, great schools, good mobility and a sense of community. We are proud of our past and what we have become.
We’re even more excited about where we are going. Our citizens embrace the true spirit of community. And that’s what makes Plano the City of Excellence.
