Location
data suppliers generally try to be alert to what
their prospects want
and organize information accordingly. The information
referred to is useful to enterprise
developers and
site
selectors. Location data suppliers include area
and local development representatives who sometimes
refer to their information as economic
development data.

Various headers used to introduce categories of information for
prospects are listed below, gleaned from location data in distribution.
In other words the items of location

collecting location data:
A link to the definition of location data supplier starts the introduction
at the top of this page. For a breakdown of
the various types of location data suppliers, CLICK

The
Network has a
mission that directly addresses the question of contacting
those who are in position to provide information about locations.
For example,
see what opportunities there are for all resource
and service providers engaged in the mission.
How does one go about finding contacts to collect location data
from?
One answer is to point out that you begin by searching online for
a place
of interest. Take a look at how
information published online from the Global Registry of Contacts
is organized. Also,
be aware that the Economic
Development Network website is organized with an Area Development
Section that you step through from the
national to local level in search of places throughout the
world. Here
is the key: locations seeking economic development
list for free along with links that takes you to their location
data suppliers.
In the event that you do not find what you want listed
online by searching for a location
identity, all you need to
do is send an email. If you follow
email instructions, we
will list the
place you tell us about and its location
data supplier as a free service

Even at the tentative
project stage, the
experienced site
selector has a few criteria
for choosing a location. Such criteria are typically
organized to match with items of location data. The
following quote points out two of the most sought after categories
of location
data as established by considering typical site
selection criteria.
The infrastructure required for economic growth includes not only the
necessary transport and communications
provision, but also appropriate
employment and housing sites and mechanisms to encourage public
and private investment ... (source
of quote)
Note: The definition
of transportation infrastructure in the Enterprise
and Economic Development Glossary lists the several other categories
of most sought after location
data as demographics, real
estate, taxes
and incentives as well as communications infrastructure.
