Dallas Development Policy Focuses on Equity
Councilman Casey Thomas who championed the equity policy said the city must maintain the commitment to racial equity in all decisions.
“We don't have equity if we don't have infrastructure in all parts of the City of Dallas,” Atkins said.Near the University of North Texas at Dallas campus, the city began work on streets and utilities to support a massive development near I-20 instead of making developers do it. For Dallas Libraries alone there’s $24 million in unfunded needs and for hundreds of city buildings altogether the Building Services Department reported $74 million in unfunded needs. That’s on top of the $63 million the department will spend in the current budget on building upkeep.Dallas City Council Member Cara Mendelsohn questioned the wisdom of tax abatements and economic development incentives with so many unfunded needs.
“We continue to collect what we’re collecting now, plus a portion of the growth,” she said. “It’s always positive for the city on these deals.”
