TEXAS EARNS 12TH GOLD SHOVEL AWARD — WHY INVESTMENT IN THE LONE STAR STATE KEEPS PAYING OFF
June 2025 | By Ana Ruelas
Texas has once again proven why it’s a national leader in economic growth and opportunity. For the 12th time, our state has received the prestigious Gold Shovel Award from Area Development, recognizing outstanding performance in job creation and business investment.
According to the Governor’s Office, this accolade celebrates large-scale projects and the pro-growth policies that continue to position Texas at the top of global business rankings. Whether it’s tech giants expanding campuses, manufacturers opening new facilities, or small businesses thriving across diverse communities—Texas continues to deliver.
At The Agency Austin, we see the impact of this growth every day. Businesses are relocating. Families are following. Developers are investing. And the demand for residential and commercial real estate across Central Texas, Houston, and the Rio Grande Valley continues to surge.
WHY IT MATTERS TO REAL ESTATE INVESTORS AND HOMEBUYERS
Economic development isn’t just a headline—it directly affects local housing markets, infrastructure improvements, and job stability. The momentum behind this Gold Shovel Award reinforces what many already know: Texas is a smart, long-term bet.
Whether you're looking to build, relocate, or invest, the Lone Star State offers:
- A business-friendly environment
