Windhaven Parkway project nearing completion in Lewisville • A new roadway underpass • A stormwater lift station • Utilities • Other associated structures

The Windhaven Parkway at Kansas City Southern Railroad project in Lewisville is ahead of schedule. Lewisville’s City Engineer David Salmon said the project originally expected to be completed in December could be completed as early as March. What’s happening? Sundt Construction was awarded a $16.57 million contract for the project in 2022, according to previous Community Impact reporting. Its scope includes construction of: • A 1,500-foot extension of Windhaven Parkway from Cookie Lane to Brown Knight Lane • An approximately 100-foot-long railroad bridge • Construction and removal of temporary shooy track • Permanent track

Salmon said the railroad bridge was inspected Jan. 17 and is 99% complete. He said a retaining wall is still being worked on, and road paving has begun. In a nutshell The project was broken into three volumes. The rst volume, which included utility reloca- tion, is complete. Volume two includes under- pass work, and volume three includes paving and draining. Part three consists of extending Windhaven Park- way, a four-lane, divided roadway underneath the railroad, near Independence Elementary School.

Construction crews work on Windhaven Parkway at Kansas City Southern Railroad in January. The project could be nished by early March, according to city ocials.

Fortune 500 companies in Coppell

Mays said Coppell has the location, infrastructure and city services to attract corporations of all sizes. Director of Community Development Mindi Hurley said 11 Fortune 500 companies have a presence within Coppell. Hurley added that corporate tenants’ presence helps provide trac that will frequent local businesses and enhance Coppell’s economy. “As these employees settle in and around Coppell, they become active members of the community,” said Ellie Braxton, Coppell Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. Hurley said other aspects such as the schools and a strong transportation network make Coppell desirable. “This location lets us build a team with great talent from across the metroplex,” said Andrea Weidlich, senior director of marketing for Vari, a Coppell-based furniture company. In certain cases, Hurley said developing specic areas to cater to companies, such as Coppell’s western area, which has been designed around warehouses, will help shape future development within the city.

Construction on the building for Convotherm and Merrychef, located at 1010 W. Sandy Lake Road, will likely last throughout 2024, said John Castro, a consultant who worked with city sta on the project. Economic incentives for the project are slated to begin in 2025. “We are excited for what the future holds for our brands in Coppell,” said Ryan Blackman, vice president of marketing and communications for Ali Group North America, the parent company of Welbilt. Hurley said city sta also focus on updating maps outlining the preferred uses for open land along with supporting existing companies in Coppell. She added that sta regularly check in with corporate tenants to identify potential needs. “We’re being proactive in our development standards so that we stay ahead of the needs and trends [of corporations],” Hurley said.

Coppell primarily grants tax abatements as part of its economic development toolkit, Hurley said. When evaluating incentive packages, potential infrastructure, job creation and capital investment in Coppell are analyzed by city sta. Hurley said companies choosing to locate in Coppell also help boost local hotel tax revenues as out-of-town employees come in to visit. “Welbilt is a great example,” Hurley said. “They are not only providing jobs in town and the tax base...they are bringing the visitors that come in.”

“New businesses often bring fresh perspectives, technologies and ideas that can boost the competitiveness of existing businesses, and foster

a spirit of collaboration and entrepreneurship within the community.” ELLIE BRAXTON, COPPELL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT AND CEO

What is a tax abatement?

A tax abatement oers a rebate on a portion of a business’s taxes for up to 10 years, and a reinvestment zone must be created to facilitate the rebate.

“We’re in an extremely good place; we’re doing things that most other cities can only dream about.” WES MAYS, COPPELL MAYOR

The Ballet Conservatory in Lewisville pairs variety with experience Kelly Lannin said 30 years ago, she was uent in all things dance but lacked business acumen. Her longtime friend Mary Neel, who was well-versed in business, raised the curtain on an idea that would meld their skillset into an applause-worthy endeavor. “[Neel] said, ‘I have this business degree but nothing to sell; you have something to sell, but you don’t want to have your own business. I think we make the perfect pair,’” Lannin said. In 1991, the duo opened The Ballet Conservatory in Lewisville in a strip mall on Justin Road. By 1997, they outgrew that spot and moved to a stand-alone building across the street. The details The facility has ve studios, including a tap studio, and sprung oors. “Our job is to provide a performing outlet for the serious dancer who wants to have a career in dance,” Lannin said. The Ballet Conservatory students, starting as young as 2 years old, have a variety of classes available to them. Also of note Many of their teachers are former students. Some have been with them since the studio opened. “I don’t hire someone who doesn’t have a specialty in their eld,” Lannin said. “I hire them because they are specialized in the eld, are profes- sionals, and they know how to treat children.”

Claire Locastro, a LakeCities Ballet Theatre dancer performed a modern dance to Carmina Burana.
