📰 News we're reading

• Brinks swaps sprawling Farmers Branch headquarters for leaner office setup (therealdeal.com) — Brinks is shrinking its Farmers Branch headquarters footprint by 80%, moving from its soon-to-be-demolished Wittington Place offices into a much smaller space in the new Park West tower off LBJ Freeway. The shift reflects the company’s hybrid-work strategy and highlights how more major employers are choosing modern Farmers Branch office parks over downtown Dallas, a trend that could shape local jobs, traffic, and commercial development.
   

• Patented: RedCritter's Off-Chain NFT Distribution for Schools and More North Texas Inventive Activity » Dallas Innovates (dallasinnovates.com) — North Texas inventors just notched 129 new patents, and one of the named creators on a 7‑Eleven fuel-monitoring system hails from Farmers Branch. The roundup spans everything from off‑chain NFTs for schools to quantum networking and medical devices, underscoring how heavily the Dallas–Fort Worth area—and nearby suburbs like Farmers Branch—are contributing to cutting‑edge technology and potential future jobs.
