Phase II includes a personalized, on-the-ground tour of each short-listed community. We meet with key individuals, including major employers, academia, staffing agencies, economic development representatives, telecommunications providers, and state and local government officials. Through these meetings we can understand and evaluate each community’s political and labor climate and assess its level of enthusiasm and support for your project.

Next, we create a community matrix that provides a clear, objective measurement and ranking of each market based on the information acquired during the tours. Data evaluated includes underemployment rate, accessibility, real estate costs, telecommunications infrastructures, and anecdotal information. As a result, you can make your final selection with confidence.
