Ohio Tops Texas
(c) Conway / Site Selection Magazine
Ohio has taken back the Governor’s Cup, an annual ranking of state’s performance to attract or expand business, under the leadership of our governor and the JobsOhio team.
Ohio’s 498 points beat out Texas (464), Pennsylvania (453), North Carolina (310) and Virginia (273) to round out the Top 5 states for Conway Data’s annual Governor’s Cup Award competition. Points are based on companies investing $1 million or more in a new or expanded facility, or hiring an additional 50 employees.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, significant amount of Ohio’s growth came from the software development arena, a vertical typically found on the coasts, and an obvious nod to the team at JobsOhio.
Bravo Team Kasich.
