It's a pretty diverse state, which I think is part of the reason Louisville has had such growth, the Cinncinnati/Louisville area is a couple hour drive to a variety of things. Texas, I would guess, would be fairly attractive if you're trying to bring in employees. A better tax rate has got to be an enticement, too.
Plus just an overall lower cost of operating/living compared to California. I was on an advisory committee a while back and one of the main things existing industry in my area cited was a lower cost of operating. Lower average wages, lower utilities, etc. Just across the river in Illinois it's 2-4 times the cost of living/business operation because of loopy Chicago politics, despite roughly the same industries and social makeup.
I do know that Texas is quite attractive to perspective employees, as they don't assess a State income tax. But on the tradeoff side, they must have a pretty high sales tax, as they need to get their revenue from somewhere..
