places of interest:

... locations under consideration for expansion or relocation of the operations of an enterprise or the startup of an entrepreneurial venture. They are locations of interest to various members of the .network core user group—places about which site selectors and others involved in enterprise development seek to gather information from location data suppliers.

Business decision makers use the Web to gather information about sites.

During the formative years of the Internet as related to site selection (1996-2006) at least one economic development marketing consultant kept in touch with senior-level corporate executives to learn about their changing preferences for information sources that help them decide on locations. By the beginning of 2006 ... 65% of surveyed executives indicated that they would likely use location data from websites (source of quote). Also, many places seeking economic development had websites that provided information to their prospects.

The Network was introduced in 1997. We (who we are) were early in the business of using the Internet to put enterprise developers and site selectors together with location data suppliers. Site selection is a process of enterprise development.

You can search the Global Registry of Contacts for locations and use it to access location data. Take a look at the .network user guide that explains the typical layout of a freely searchable GRC webpage. You can also search for other resources that are available online to help business decision makers gather information about sites.

Try copying the following suggested italicized text lines, keeping quotation marks intact, if you want to use something other than the GRC. Paste to the search engine below.
