The City of Mesquite says 2023 was a big year for economic development.
Mesquite Mayor Daniel Aleman, Jr. says nine companies expanded in the city last year, creating 2,800 jobs. Two of the expansions belonged to companies that opened their first US facilities: Canadian Solar and Norway's Hexagon Purus.
Also included in a report released this week was an announcement by aerospace and defense giant General Dynamics who will open a new ordnance and tactical systems facility in Mesquite.
Several other large U.S. companies moved into the North Texas city including Lowe's, Masonite, Coleman Powersports, and RJW Logistics.
The report says the city's total valuation grew from about $5.5 billion in 2015 to over $13.5 billion last year.
