In what has now become an annual tradition, Texas is once again the winner of Site Selection magazine’s Governor’s Cup. For the 14th consecutive year and 22nd year in total, Texas was recognized as the state that attracted the most major job-creating business location and expansion projects over the past year. In 2025, the Lone Star State attracted 1,406 projects, up from 1,368 in 2024 and 1,254 in 2023. This era of dominance began in the early 2000s, when enlightened economic development policies quickly moved Texas from the middle of the pack to the unabashed leader.
