Austin ranked No. 6 in US for major capital projects

[Neil Narayan]

A March ranking by Site Selection magazine showed the Austin metro ranked sixth last year in the nation for total active capital projects with 84. That tied the Phoenix metro in Arizona. Ahead of Austin and Phoenix were Chicago (327), Dallas-Fort Worth (262), the Houston area (213), Atlanta (206) and Indianapolis (94).

But when it came to pound-for-pound rankings, the Austin metro came in second with 43.2 projects per capita last year.

In Site Selection's state rankings by number of projects underway in 2020, Texas easily beat out its competitors with 781 total projects. For reference, Ohio came in second with 419 projects underway. Texas has held the top spot on Site Selection's annual rankings for nine years in a row.
