The Texas economy keeps booming. New numbers show the state attracted 14-hundred business projects last year, creating 42-thousand jobs. That’s more than double what was seen in Illinois, which was the second-ranked state.
Justin Yancey with the Texas Business Leadership Council says it’s the stability that draws companies here, and predicts the winning will continue as state leaders address water and power issues.
Houston, Dallas and Austin are three of the top six cities, nationally, when it comes to the number of projects won.
