Dallas City Council Approves Economic Incentive Package for Uber Expansion

Today, the Dallas City Council voted to approve an economic incentive package for an expansion of Uber Technologies in the City of Dallas. The company is expected to make a final decision on its new site selection this fall.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has released the following statement in response to the vote:

“I am thrilled for Dallas and for Uber Technologies. Uber's expansion will bring thousands of high-paying jobs and a $110 million investment to our city's core, which has long driven our region’s explosive growth.

"The City Council's vote for this competitive economic incentive package illustrates Dallas' continued commitment to innovation and strengthening its workforce. We are looking forward to hopefully welcoming Uber to Dallas very soon.”
