The Forney Advantage

Opportunity is the single greatest advantage that the City of Forney offers businesses looking to relocate, expand, or startup in North Texas. The opportunity to benefit from close proximity to the ninth largest city in America, the opportunity to hire one of the largest trained workforce pools in the nation, the opportunity to take advantage of tailored incentive packages, ongoing support, and the opportunity to be a part of a community without limits.

Conveniently located in the eastern corridor of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex along US Highway 80, Forney has the sites, land, and infrastructure needed for strong growth and development, now and into the future.

As a community, we are equally proud of our many amenities, including an award-winning educational system, an affordable cost of living, and an active lifestyle that attracts an increasing number of families and well-educated workforce.
