A Confidential Process
DMGS experts first work to gain a complete understanding of the events and context surrounding the decision to relocate or expand operations. Corporate operations and culture are discussed to determine both the logistical and human demands required from a potential location. Targeted states are identified and regions within those states are pre-qualified. Based on this high-level framework, DMGS experts begin the detailed location analysis evaluating such critical site factors as workforce, infrastructure, utilities, site/building availability, operational costs and public policy environment.
Locations meeting the required parameters are identified and personal contact is made with state and regional economic development officials. The client is represented anonymously during these meetings as specific sites and buildings are further qualified. As sites are eliminated due to permanent limitations, DMGS begins the process of incentives qualification and negotiation. Ultimately, two to three sites will be presented, along with a complete incentives package to the client for final selection.
