For the 13th straight year, Texas has snagged the prestigious Governor’s Cup, celebrating the state’s unmatched capital investment in economic development projects.
But what’s really turning heads is the powerhouse behind this victory — the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
DFW secured the No. 2 spot nationwide with 489 projects, trailing only behind Chicagoland’s 582. Fort Worth alone pulled in a staggering $3.7 billion in capital investments over the past two years, thanks to heavyweights like Embraer, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and a massive $632 million project from Bell for a new factory at AllianceTexas. The result? Over 6,000 new jobs across the metroplex.
Key to this growth is a business-friendly climate, a rock-solid political landscape, and a booming population. The area is quickly approaching 1 million residents, making Fort Worth the fastest-growing big city in America.
With a thriving workforce and a pro-business environment, DFW isn’t just keeping the Governor’s Cup — it’s making sure everyone knows why.
