DALLAS-Even as other development activity has slowed to a trickle, school districts are still developing and renovating educational facilities throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, albeit at a slower pace than a few years ago.

“D-FW is one of the more vibrant education construction markets because new facilities, for the most part, follow population, and the population continues to expand,” says Neal Harper, president of Cadence McShane Construction Co., a local firm that is involved in the construction and renovation of several education facilities in the Metroplex.

Although the number of educational projects has decreased over the past two years, Harper contends activity is still strong across the Lone Star State and in North Texas, in particular.
