Billion dollars in capital investment

The first quarter saw a diverse mix of different industry locations from filming studios to medical device manufacturing and large growth in solar cell manufacturing. The momentum of the electric transportation industry of course charges forward with 5 locations accounting for almost 2,300 jobs and $667 million in capital investment this quarter. While job creation was split pretty evenly between the manufacturing (53%) and non-manufacturing (47%) sectors, the majority of capital investment was still coming through manufacturing locations (85%). This year is already off to setting new records and we're only 3 months in.
