Why Grayson County?

Grayson County has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years. While much of the boom is the result of Dallas’ northward spread, it’s also fueled by the county’s proactive leadership and business-friendly attitude of its surrounding communities.  Grayson County is very much open for business, as evidenced by the limited restrictions, regulations, and zoning issues.

Grayson county residents enjoy many activities that the surrounding area has to offer: Lake Texoma, beautiful & historic downtown areas, large state park, and local shopping and dining.

The Area
