Mayor Eric Johnson on Monday will officially open a new Trade Office of France in the city’s International District at Prism Center, 5580 Peterson Lane, Dallas, TX 75240 in North Dallas.
The Trade Office of France, a partnership between the City of Dallas and the French-American Chamber of Commerce, will serve as an anchor tenant for the International District, which was designated by the City Council earlier this year.
The mayor teased this Trade Office announcement during his annual State of the City Address last month.
Mayor Johnson developed the vision for hosting new foreign trade offices in Dallas as part of his international strategy and previously named the opening of these international outposts as a top priority for his administration. The mayor’s intent is for the trade offices to serve as an integral part of the city’s efforts to improve foreign relations and increase trade, cultural exchanges, and foreign direct-investment.
