Question & insight: the future of site selection looks nothing like the past

Article Abstract:

Industrial Design Corp Site selection Mgr Richard Sheehy observes that site selection has changed dramatically in the US because of the nation's continuing economic boom. Many regions are economically prosperous, which has forced economic development officials to develop more competitive strategies to attract businesses. Sheehy believes that corporations have become less dependent on outside experts in making site selection decisions since 1989 because of the pervasive influence of the Internet and the increased access to information that it has brought.
