 Every community has the same challenge: How do
you capture the attention of corporate site selectors when there are so many
communities for them to choose from? The affordable answer is DevelopmentAlliance.com, a Web
site created through a strategic alliance between IEDC and Conway Data Inc., publishers of Site Selection Magazine.
DevelopmentAlliance.com provides detailed state, county and metropolitan
information for companies seeking new business locations. The web site enables
comparisons of critical data sets from every U.S. county and gives individual
communities the opportunity to showcase themselves through detailed but
inexpensive "Community Profiles." DevelopmentAlliance also allows states and
communities to list their marketable buildings and business parks.
