Located half way beween the two coasts, Dallas is the hub of the South Central region.
The Dallas-Ft Worth airport is the 3rd largest in the USA. A convergence of major rail and road axis and a highly developed infrastructure make it one of the major logistical centers in the US. The largest linland port in the world is under construction in the southern part of the city.
This dynamic city has been named "Best city in the US for business" by Fortune Magazine. The cost of doing business there is much lower than many major cities and the 2008 report on growth has named Dallas the faster growing metropolis in the US.
