  2. There are many incentives offered to companies wanting to relocate to Texas, such as the Texas Enterprise Grant which helps those companies to expand or relocate here.
  3. Headquartered and manufacturing facilities are being moved to Texas which is creating new jobs and allowing Texas to become an even larger economic competitor.
