Target Industries

North Richland Hills' comprehensive land use and economic development plans take into account City goals and objectives, feedback from the developer and citizen communities, alongside both regional economic and business trends. The city has identified the following target industries as our primary focus for our local economic development efforts.

Professional Office and Business Services: An abundant, well-educated workforce, central location, and close proximity to highways and major airports make NRH a perfect fit for Class A, Class B or garden office uses.

Entertainment and Experiential Retail: With an already impressive roster of venues, including NRH₂O Family Water Park, Iron Horse Golf Course, Richland Tennis Center and NYTEX Sports Centre, NRH welcomes complementary amenities that build on our reputation as a leader for making memories in the DFW area.

Omnichannel Retail: With the rising popularity of e-commerce amidst traditional retail, NRH desires concepts that integrate retail space with last mile fulfillment to deliver both offline and online shopping experiences in one location.

Specialty Food and Beverage: Determined a top priority by the community, NRH seeks dining experiences that complement current restaurant offerings.

Pedestrian-Friendly Businesses: With two commuter rail stops in addition to the Home Town and City Point master planned areas, the City is seeking both essential and unique businesses that thrive on urban, walkable settings.
