Texas' Entertainment Capital
Arlington is the seventh largest city in the state of Texas and an integral part of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Area. The city is home to most of Texas's most popular attractions such as Ameriquest Field (home of the Texas Rangers baseball team), the Six Flags over Texas theme park, and the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys pro football team and the city is considered the entertainment capital of Texas. The city is one of the fastest growing cities between 2000 and 2004 at 8% and has been growing rapidly over the past 50 years ever since the construction of a large General Motors plant. Another contributor to the rapid growth rate of Arlington is the great ratio of median family income ($56,080) and median house value ($96,400).
The local economy is powered by many high tech companies, manufacturing, education, and geographical position in the middle of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The National Semiconductor Wafer Plant is one of the city's largest employers and has attracted many high tech companies who use their products. The city is well connected to the rest of the metropolitan area via the Dallas Rapid Transit system which operates busses, high speed commuter rail service, and a light rail system. There is also a robust ground transportation system and the state and county governments have committed $258 million dollars to future improvements of the roads, highways, and bridges.
The city is home to the University of Texas, Arlington, the second largest campus in the University of Texas system and has a huge student body of over 25,000 students. UTA has a number of undergraduate and graduate programs in a number of important fields including architecture, accounting, business, engineering, and nursing. In fact, the school consistently ranks at the top in the nation in graduates that pass the Certified Public Accountant Exam. UTA is also home of the NanoFab Research and Training Facility one of only three such nanotechnology institutions in the country. Arlington also is home to Arlington Baptist College and Tarrant County College.
