Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings delivered his State of the City address Tuesday afternoon in front of a large crowd.
The speech focused on the need to attract young people to Dallas and make big things happen.
Rawlings said Trinity Parkway project investment will be a huge lure for young people.
He also said the recent passage of the Dallas Independent School District bond was a step in the right direction for the district and will keep young families in the city.
However, he said the Cowboys moving to Arlington represented a missed opportunity for the city of Dallas.
"Dallas needs think big," he said.
Rawlings told the crowd that he believes young people will lead Dallas toward a great future.
