Hurst-Euless-Bedford (HEB), Texas, offers your business a location that's central to the nation—just 18 minutes from the central business district in Fort Worth, Texas, and just 23 minutes from the Dallas central business district. We offer companies the advantage of a Central Time Zone, a central location between the East and West Coasts of America, and a closeness to Mexico for international business.

The warm climate of the south, the mild winters and the refreshing spring and autumn seasons welcomes commerce to a year-round pleasant atmosphere. A hub for transportation to the nation and the world, the HEB area offers the convenience of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Intermodal Facility, the commerce-friendly Alliance Airport, a network of major freeways and the new, state-of-the-art Trinity Railway Express, making human transport between Dallas and Fort Worth nearly hassle-free.
