Introduction

A significant competitive handicap for many communities in their efforts to attract and retain companies is their ability to tell their story with data. Site selection RFIs ask for data on industries, establishments, jobs, wages, unionization, commuting patterns, and demographics. Much of this data exists at a county level (although some is only at the MSA level) and is accessible from public sources at no cost.

Presenter: Nicole Dunn, Chamberlin/Dunn
