residents have Paris as an economic hub
Positioned perfectly geographically. We’re close enough to the metroplex to have access to world-class museums, shopping, entertainment and sports, but we’re far enough from DFW to have a high quality of life and low cost of living.
From an economic development perspective, for a community of this size to attract Fortune 500 companies like Campbells and Kimberly-Clark demonstrates we have a robust manufacturing base.
