High-growth, tech-centric manufacturing and other capital investment projects continue to proliferate, and site selection for these projects has taken on a new dimension. Manufacturing electric vehicles, running large data centers, and other operations that require a reliable digital infrastructure, sufficient power and water sources, and a talent pipeline are reshaping the site selection process in this arena. Many emerging industries projects are also seeking large, shovel-ready sites to get operations moving as quickly as possible.
Business Facilities’ Editorial Director Anne Cosgrove spoke with Mike Grella, Founder & CEO of Grella Partnership Strategies, and Carl Nelson, Managing Principal of Infrastructure Ready to share their insights on these types of projects, based on their shared and individual professional experiences.
Grella Partnership Strategies is a firm with expertise in data center, e-commerce, and industrial real estate site selection, acquisition, infrastructure development, smart cities, and economic development. Infrastructure Ready is a location economics, site selection and commercial real estate development firm.
