Site Selection For Emerging Industries

High-growth, tech-centric manufacturing and other capital investment projects continue to proliferate, and site selection for these projects has taken on a new dimension. Manufacturing electric vehicles, running large data centers, and other operations that require a reliable digital infrastructure, sufficient power and water sources, and a talent pipeline are reshaping the site selection process in this arena. Many emerging industries projects are also seeking large, shovel-ready sites to get operations moving as quickly as possible.
