Texas led nation in capital investment for past decade — with big tech investments stealing show in '21

Fueled by growing corporate behemoths such as Samsung, Amazon, Texas Instruments and Intel, Site Selection magazine awarded The Lone Star State the 2021 Governor’s Cup on March 1 for having the most capital investment projects in the United States. The state had roughly 1,123 projects underway in 2021. Ohio ranked No. 2 with 507 projects and Illinois was No. 3 with 480.
