There are so many reasons to Love Plano. This rapidly growing city boasts a thriving, dynamic economy, thanks to the many corporation headquarters located here, including JCPenney, Dr. Pepper, Frito-Lay and Alcatel. It also features an award-winning school system, plenty of parks and open spaces, and easy access a number of major roadways and regional airports.

In fact, Plano has been recognized on a national level by a number of sources for being an exceptional city, including CNN Money, who ranked Plano as a top place to live in the United States in 2004. In addition, Plano is the only city to have earned the distinction of having a “AAA” Bond Rating with the country’s top bond rating companies.
