Creating Good Jobs in Mesquite, Texas

Located approximately 15 miles east of downtown Dallas, Mesquite is known as a working class area with a renowned rodeo that served as the logistics and distributions hub for some of Dallas’ largest companies. But as more professionals relocated with their families from Dallas, the city’s population boomed, with more than 13.2% population growth since 2000.
