Location, location, location

At a recent economic development meeting : "Josh Weger, policy adviser to DCEO's director, spoke about a new economic development tool available to help developers market locations to manufacturing and business site selectors. Location One is a Web-based tool, available through the DCEO, that provides worldwide exposure of buildings and locations ripe for development, as well as offering other information for site selectors such as community profiles.

'Many communities are eliminated from competition without even knowing it,' Weger said. 'Eighty-five to 90 percent of site selection begins on the Internet. If you don't have information on a site, you are at a considerable disadvantage.'"
