A CNBC study ranks Minnesota as one of the top 5 states in the nation for businesses, surpassing Texas.
On Wednesday, Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced this huge milestone for the great lake state.
This announcement comes on the heels of a huge push from the Walz administration to expand a number of technological industries in Minnesota, including microchip production and broadband access.
These investments were recently safeguarded with the passing of the state’s largest-ever infrastructure bill.
“Businesses are at the heart of our communities, our workforce, and our state’s economy. They drive our economic growth, culture, and innovation,” said Walz. “From investing in broadband and our highway system to child care and job training, we will continue working hard to make Minnesota the best state to own a business.”
