Why Texas
The Future is Texas
If Texas were a country, its economy would rank the 8th largest in the world. “Chief Executive Magazine” has ranked Texas “the #1 state for business” for 20 consecutive years. Forecasters rank Texas first in the nation for five-year growth projections.
The economic data tells a clear story: Texas keeps raising the bar to offer unrivaled business opportunities. Experts give our state a strong ranking in terms of business climate, GDP, job creation, population growth, and business facilities.
A State as Diverse as it is Big
The second largest state by area, Texas’ industry and talent are brimming at every corner.
East Texas
Robust Infrastructure and a Skilled Workforce
Encompassing three MSAs – Longview, Texarkana and Tyler – and the 12-county Texas Forest Country region, East Texas offers strong advantages including massive industrial sites and cutting-edge biomedical research parks. Robust interstate infrastructure provides easy links along the USMCA (previously known as NAFTA) corridor, and several Class 1 Rail Operators offer efficient access to key ports and distribution centers.
