Morgan Stanley eyes big move in Dallas

Morgan Stanley is seriously considering a major expansion right here in Dallas-Fort Worth, and it could mean a big shakeup for our local economy. The financial giant is looking at leasing space in the Dallas Arts District and potentially splitting up to half a million square feet between Uptown and the northern suburbs like Plano and Frisco. If this goes through, it could bring more jobs, new faces, and even more energy to our growing business scene. What do you think—will this change the vibe of DFW for better or worse? #Business #DallasBusiness #DFW

Central Ohio’s steel industry just leveled up

Worthington Steel is making a $2.4 billion move that keeps its global headquarters—and decision-making power—right here in Central Ohio. By acquiring Germany’s Kloeckner & Co, Worthington isn’t just growing; it’s tripling its revenue and becoming the second-largest steel service center in North America. What’s exciting for our neighborhoods? This kind of growth means more high-wage jobs, stronger demand for local services, and a healthier tax base for schools and community projects.

How do you think this will shape our community’s future? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CentralOhio

Maryland malls and main streets are changing fast

Big changes are coming to Maryland’s shopping scene this February. Macy’s is saying goodbye to Marley Station Mall, marking the end of an era for Glen Burnie. GameStop is pulling out of several suburbs, making it tougher for local gamers to find a nearby store. Big Lots is closing its last Southern Maryland locations, and Family Dollar is shutting down in both city neighborhoods and rural towns. These closures aren’t just about empty storefronts—they’ll impact jobs, convenience, and even access to essentials for many. How do you think these shifts will reshape our communities? #Business #LocalBusiness #Maryland

Colorado’s methane cuts show real climate progress

Colorado managed to slash methane pollution from oil and gas by a whopping 70%—all while production actually went up. That’s not just a win for the environment; it’s proof that strong state rules can make a real difference, even when federal protections are rolled back. But here’s the twist: cutting emissions doesn’t erase the health and climate risks tied to fossil fuels. Should states double down on these regulations, or is it time to push for a full transition away from oil and gas? Let’s hear your thoughts on what Colorado’s success means for the future of energy. #Business #Industry #Colorado

If you’re watching where Wall Street’s heading, it’s all about making your money work smarter, not harder. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #GoldmanSachs

Did Siri Just Pay You for Eavesdropping?

Next time you chat about Olive Garden breadsticks, your phone might be listening—and now, you could get paid for it. Apple and Google are shelling out $163 million after being accused of secretly recording people’s convos, even when you didn’t say “Hey Siri” or “OK Google.” Some folks noticed ads popping up for stuff they’d only talked about. If you’ve owned an Apple or Google device in the last few years, check if you’re eligible for a small payout. Privacy pays—literally! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Apple
