(The Center Square) – Texas ranks first in the country for having the best business climate in the U.S. again. In another ranking published by Site Selection magazine, Texas topped the list of states for the third year in a row.

“The eighth-largest economy in the world has the best business climate in the U.S. Texas has once again emerged as the state most likely to succeed when it comes to attracting capital investment from the private sector,” Site Selection magazine states. “That’s because from the governor’s office in Austin to economic development offices in communities large and small across the Lone Star State, those charged with marketing Texas know they have an easy sell – no corporate tax, sensible business regulations, business-dedicated courts, unbeatable logistics infrastructure and a huge labor force, among other factors. Their challenge is to keep it that way.”
