Among the 50 states, Connecticut and Delaware offer the best economic climate for entrepreneurs and business, according to a new report by the Corporation for Enterprise Development, a private research group based in Washington.
The two states were alone in earning straight As on the group’s 20th annual report card of state economies for 2007, based on business vitality, performance, and development capacity.
Colorado, Massachusetts, and Minnesota also garnered high marks across all three categories.
That looks like a top 5 finish for our state. It is a bit surprising since the tax burden in this state is, well, burdensome. Nonetheless, there is a strong business infrastructure here. Obviously weather was not a factor in their ranking (it was -15 degrees here this morning).
