Frontier Communications Parent Inc. is contemplating a shift in its corporate headquarters from Norwalk, Connecticut, to Dallas. The telecommunications company has expressed its interest in being considered as an Enterprise Zone project under the Texas Enterprise Zone Act. The proposal outlines the company’s intention to retain a minimum of 500 jobs and relocate over 600 jobs from its Allen operations to the Uptown Dallas site.

The move is part of Frontier’s plan to bring employees back to physical office spaces either full-time or part-time, as a return-to-office effort. However, the proposal comes with a condition. If Frontier does not receive the desired support, it is prepared to not only cancel its plan to establish its headquarters in Dallas but also relocate the jobs and headquarters to Tampa, Florida.

If Dallas is chosen as the new headquarters for Frontier, the company expects to either hire new staff or relocate existing employees within the next five years. The city will not bear any expected cost considerations as part of the agreement.

In order to facilitate this potential relocation, Frontier plans to invest over million in expanding and renovating its office space at 1919 McKinney. The Office of Economic Development staff in Dallas has recommended the project for approval to the city council. The final decision rests with the Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism division, through the Texas Economic Development Bank.

If approved, Frontier’s relocation would give Dallas eight additional enterprise zone and project designations for the upcoming biennium, starting on September 1st. This move would bring potential economic opportunities and growth to the city.
