## Resource

We have the culture, the influence, the innovation, and the ambition to make a compelling case. But Dallas is also at a pivotal moment in its history. Major decisions about the future of City Hall, downtown development, and the city’s long-term growth are all on the table. What should happen with Dallas City Hall? What would it mean if the Mavericks leave the American Airlines Center for a new arena at Valley View? And as growth continues to spread across the metroplex, is downtown still the center of Dallas—or is the city evolving into something new? To help unpack these questions, Sarah sits down with friend and city strategist Elizabeth Saab for a thoughtful conversation about the challenges, opportunities, and competing visions shaping Dallas today. The choices made in the coming weeks could impact Dallas for decades to come. Join us as we explore what’s at stake and what the future may hold for one of America’s most dynamic cities.
