It will also provide a neutral medium for <br /> directing prospects to community contacts based on the site selector's criteria. For each <br /> property, the site will generate contact information for the appropriate Realtor, <br /> city/county economic development contacts, and chambers of commerce for office, industrial <br /> and commercial site location decisions. The site will be the first in the nation to <br /> include planned development districts along with specific properties that are available. <br /> There will also be opportunities to list available public sites as well as those being <br /> marketed privately. <br /> This unprecedented regional partnership puts critical data at the fingertips of <br /> businesses, site selectors, developers, economic development professionals and planners on <br /> a 24/7 basis. Users can search commercial/industrial real estate listings and <br /> redevelopment areas in the 11-county metro area in conjunction with powerful new user- <br /> defined economic, demographic and workforce data tools. <br /> To fully take advantage of this opportunity we are asking for your involvement in two <br /> ways. <br /> 1. Your community can learn how to put this versatile website to work by participating in <br /> one of six two-hour training sessions to be held March 25-27, 2008. Click here to <br /> register online (or paste the following link into your address bar: <br /> http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pE56LrOvIuzcbCMF2yK6mA_3d_3d) Please register for <br /> training by Monday, March 17. <br /> 2. Since Washington County is a charter member, every community in Washington County can <br /> have an economic development contact listed for their community on the website. If your <br /> community would like this information on the website, please let me know who to list as <br /> your economic development contact. <br /> 1 <br />
