Editor’s Note
Dear Consultant,
We have just wrapped up two more successful Consultants Forums: the spring
Consultants Forum and the FDI Forum, both held in San Francisco in June. Upcoming
Forum events include the inaugural Women in Economic Development conference, to
be held in Chicago on October 24–26, and our fall Consultants Forum, to be held in
Savannah on December 5–7, which will mark our 10th such event.
Consultants Site Guide: The Site Location Handbook to Leading Corporate Locations is
produced in conjunction with our 2010 Forums. Since consultants cannot be familiar
with — or visit — every location, we are bringing them to you through the profiles
on the pages that follow.
With the economic recovery gradually taking hold, your client companies may be
beginning to position themselves for the growth that should follow. With that in
mind, be ready to help them take advantage of the many opportunities offered by
organizations profiled within this magazine.
The web and e-mail addresses of these organizations are provided on the
Contents page. You can also access an electronic version of this publication at
www.consultantssiteguide.com, or go to our online property database —
www.fastfacility.com — to immediately satisfy your client companies’ facility needs.
A special feature, “The Pros and Cons of Onshoring: Post-Recession Update,” is
included in this issue as well. Bill Luttrell, Senior Locations Strategist at Werner Global
Logistics, discusses opportunities to relocate back to the United States clients’
operations that had previously been moved offshore.
The 2010 Consultants Site Guide also features the results of our 6th Annual
Consultants Survey (published in the December 2009/January 2010 issue of
Area Development magazine). You can find this survey online, along with our 2009
Corporate Survey of our readers, by logging onto www.areadevelopment.com.
We welcome your comments or questions about this guide; please direct them to
gerri@areadevelopment.com so that we can continue to work in partnership with you to
serve industry’s needs.
