The State of Kansas has been awarded the Governor's Cup for 2021. This award is presented by Site Selection Magazine for the state with the most economic development per capita in the country. This is the first time in state history that Kansas has received this national economic development award.

Governor Laura Kelly says this is proof of their efforts to secure a strong foundation for economic growth by staying focused on the issues that Kansans elected them to take care of, like fully funding public schools, strengthening roads, bridges, and high-speed internet, have paid off. In 2019, Kansas was ranked 20th out of all the 50 states for capital investment per capita, and in 2020 Kansas moved up to 10th.
