In this edition of Trade & Industry Development, we look at the driving factors for site selection in the Aerospace and Automotive industries. Award winning site selection consultants, Bob Ady (Ady International) and Jeanette Goldsmith (McCallum Sweeney), present excellent articles depicting site selection criteria for these sectors. Additionally, we look at the impact of the Electric Power Grid as it relates to site selection decisions in the “Special Report.” Our “Case Study” on the Boeing 7E7 announcement in late 2003 shows the effort one state made to land the aerospace giant.
