Texas is going to need a bigger trophy case.
Sports teams win trophies for accomplishments big and small, but championship trophies are the singular physical representation of a team’s season’s worth of hard work and dedication. Players and coaches who work hard enough to win a championship proudly hoist their trophies high for all to see. In economic development, there are plenty of trophies to go around (and Texas has won many of them). But there is arguably only one championship trophy for economic development —Site Selection Magazine’s Governor’s Cup. Site Selection awards the Governor’s Cup annually to the state with the most qualified economic development projects.

Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
