Austin, TXGovernor Greg Abbott announced November 4 that Site Selection magazine named Texas the top business climate in America for the third consecutive year, edging out competitors through job-creating projects and CEO surveys.

The Details:

  • Ranking based on job-creating relocations/expansions, Conway Projects Database, and top marks from corporate real estate executives/site selectors.

  • Factors include pro-growth laws, workforce development, infrastructure investments, tech talent access, and predictable regulations.

  • Texas, the world's eighth-largest economy, also secured 2025 Prosperity Cup and 13th straight Governor's Cup earlier this year.

Why It Matters: This repeat win reinforces Texas' dominance in attracting capital investment and jobs, fueling economic expansion in a state leading U.S. relocations amid national competition for businesses.
