Scott Cohen at CNBC published the second annual "Top States for Business" report and Texas has moved from number two to number one this year! It is no wonder that the state continues to grow in population at record rates! And now that much of the major freeway construction on the north side of town is nearing completion, the communities of Round Rock, Hutto, Cedar Park and Georgetown are growing at expential rates as well! This is a great place to run a business, raise a family and most importantly... Have a life!

The Greater Austin area has been getting the following positive press recently:
- Round Rock listed as the number 7 of the top 100 best places to live in the USA by CNNMoney.com.
- Austin is rated as the 14th best city in the USA to raise a family by Bestlife Magazine.
- Austin area economy has remained very strong throughout the current economy crisis.
- Austin has been named Recession-Proof by Forbes.com.
It becomes apparent why Austin was named the 8th fastest growing city in the USA by the Census Bureau last year! Even smaller, formerly sleepy north Austin area communities like Hutto are exploding with all the growth due to new road, tollway and freeway construction.
