Site Selection Trends • The location strategy process has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. What
has changed are the timeframe and tools for which to deliver results and recommendations. Today, more so than ever, clients are:
• Making decisions quickly and efficiently;• Seeking available buildings meeting specific requirements;• Cost sensitive (labor, utilities, freight, occupancy, incentives offset); and,• Interested in the ‘bottomline’ operating cost vs. non-cost environment classic tradeoff.
• General Trends• C&W Business Consulting has experienced a significant uptick in site selection activity
by foreign companies seeking to manufacture products locally in the United States vs. abroad
• Exchange rates and rising transportation costs a possible contributing factor to foreign interest
• Continued revelation of spatial integration of data

• Situation: – Headquarters relocation from Midwest– Includes a new showcase manufacturing facility– Critical international air service requirement
• Once 2 priority metros were identified, a sub-market location screen was conducted:– Headquarters
• “Cluster” analysis focused on satisfying executive lifestyles including, quality-of-life, commute times, and airport access.
– Manufacturing Facility• Facility must reside within 45-60 minutes of the new headquarters. Human
resources driven, other key considerations include sites/buildings and incentives.
• Results support:• Site recommendations for due-diligence field study (define top two
headquarters and three manufacturing in order of preference)• Viability of least preferred markets• Likelihood and magnitude of incentive benefits

Case Study 1: Workforce Analysis
• To identify best HQ submarkets, the analysis focused on resident characteristics aligned with relocatee demographics and quality-of-life indicators.
• Plotting of “executive lifestyle clusters” (green shading) within a 60-minute drivetime of Philadelphia airport.
• Client expressed interest in considering the Navy Shipyard as a possible co-location scenario for both manufacturing and headquarters operations.
• Radnor submarket & vicinity identified as optimally positioned for maximum regional commutable executive housing options.

How Should I Go About Selecting Targeted
Industries?
![Page 24: IEDC Marketing and Attraction: Understanding the Product](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55569050d8b42acc5e8b497d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
How to select targeted industries
• The easy way: Use the industries that states and regions you are in have selected
• The hard way: Do your own research, and do positioning statements for each industry. If you have no differentiators for an industry, don’t select the industry.
• The expensive way: Hire a firm for a 3-9 month study
![Page 25: IEDC Marketing and Attraction: Understanding the Product](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55569050d8b42acc5e8b497d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

How to use data to position your community competitively
Positioning is answering the following questions:
Who are my target customers? What are their needs?What type of community are we in their minds?What needs of theirs do we meet?What needs of theirs do we meet better than other communities?
For: Aerospace, Biomedical location decision makersWho need: Highly technical workforce, competitive labor costs, and access to intl. airportHouston is: a large regionThat offers: Workforce trained by NASA and the Texas Medical Center, and a cost of doing business that is 5% below the national averageUnlike: Other large cities, Houston has a larger workforce pool at costs as much as 30% less than comparable coastal communities.

DIY: Foundation for positioning

community
