City of Balch Springs, TX

Economic Development (EDC)
12400 Elam Road
Balch Springs, Texas 75180
   Continuing to Make Balch Springs Beautiful!



An emerging city of just more than 20,000, overflowing with exciting developments and improvements. Telecom industry hub, family entertainment venues like Double D Ranch, soccer and baseball sports complexes and the only Home Depot and Super Wal-Mart within the southeast Dallas area north of I20, all located where 3 major freeways meet. I635, I20 and US175 criss-cross the city offering easy commutes to and from Dallas and its surrounding cities. New subdivisions opened recently and are located primarily within the award winning Mesquite ISD, Eastfield College, UNT at Dallas, SMU, and Paul Quinn are within a 30 minute drive. Quality of life and friendly neighborhood charm can be found at the new community gardens and Organic Local Farmers' Market, new City Library and Civic Center where residents gather for annual seasonal festivals and the Dr. Larry T-Byrd Gordon Cultural Arts Series. All in a growing, thriving place to live, work and play!
