Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Texas has been awarded the Gold Shovel Award by Area Development Magazine for new job growth and business investments. This annual award recognizes states that drive job creation and investment through business-friendly policies and improvements in infrastructure that attract new employers, as well as additional investments in expanding current operations. This is the sixth year Texas has won a Gold Shovel Award.
Area Development cites the more than 6,000 new jobs created by NTT Data Services in Plano, another 1,600 jobs to be created through expansion of Nutribiotech USA in Garland, and 4,000 more jobs created by USAA, UPS and McGregor, and points to the state’s successes in petroleum and chemical production and booming technology industry growth, for Texas’ ranking in this year’s awards.
