The DEC Network Plans $2.1M Entrepreneurial Innovation Center at The Shops at RedBird

The DEC Network is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary as a nonprofit entrepreneurship ecosystem builder in Dallas-Fort Worth. But instead of just throwing a party, it’s launching even more innovation hubs to help entrepreneurs start, build, and grow their businesses. 

DALLAS INNOVATES: The DEC has announced the launch of “a groundbreaking initiative” with the construction of a new, 20,000-square-foot Innovation Center at The Shops at RedBird in South Dallas.

Known as The DEC Network’s RedBird Innovation Center, the facility will be developed alongside the recently announced Tom Thumb grocery store, marking a significant step in the revitalization of the former Southwest Center Mall.

A public ceremony will be held at the RedBird site from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 12 to coincide with The DEC Network’s 10th anniversary. The event will offer an opportunity for the public to join The DEC Network in celebrating its achievements, with staff members leading informative hard hat tours of the new center.

“The DEC Network at RedBird has been a great resource and place for entrepreneurs in the Oak Cliff/ RedBird community to gather, share, and grow,” Russell Glen CEO Terrence G. Maiden said in a statement. “The DEC Network’s new and much larger space will only enhance its impact with a broader reach.”
