north of Dallas. Located within the Dallas/Fort Worth
metropolitan area (the Metroplex), Plano has grown into the
ninth largest city in the state of Texas. Plano’s strong
economy,
quality
schools
and high standards of living has earned top spots, placing at
number 11 on CNN/Money Magazine’s

the ‘Best Place to Live in the Western United States’ in 2005.
With the lowest poverty rates and highest median incomes in the
US, Plano is known for being a wealthy community, with the
western part of the city being the most affluent.
Home to more than 30
corporate headquarters’, mostly located on Legacy Drive. And
with its proximity to the Telecom Corridor, a number of
semiconductor and telecommunications companies are located in
Plano’s Research and Technology District. Some of companies

Enterprises, Metromedia Restaurant Group, PetroTel, JCPenney,
Perot Systems, Raytheon, Rent-A-Center, Texas Instruments, Triad
Hospitals, and UGS.
Recently, Plano has
made a concerted effort to draw retail to the area in an effort
to boost sales tax returns. The newly constructed Shops at
Legacy features apartments and an Angelika Film Center, while
The Shops at Willow Bend is the city's new, upscale mall.
Plano Independent
School District serves most of Plano. Due to a massive increase
in student enrollment over the past few decades, Plano consists
of a unique "high school" system, in which grades 9-10 attend a
high school and grades 11-12 attend a senior high. Small
portions of Plano are served by the Lewisville Independent
School District, Frisco Independent School District, and Allen
Independent School District.
