Texas is indeed number one -- as the Lone Star State has been chosen by Business Facilities as the winner of the magazine's first State of the Year award for business expansions and relocations. Even with allowances figured in for the size of the state and its population, Texas was still the hands-down winner, beating out Alabama, Michigan, Louisiana and Connecticut.
The magazine cites the Enterprise Fund as key to the state's success: http://www.businessfacilities.com/bf_07_12_cover1b.php
The magazine touts: Texas took the spot as this year’s big winner, with a total of $15.4 billion worth of investment and 9,335 jobs to be created by the projects it submitted. The Lone Star State certainly earned its designation as the 2007 Business Facilities State of the Year—as no other state came close to those numbers.
