The expression industrial development directory is often interchangeable with economic development directory. The definition of the latter expression in the Economic Development Network website states that it is ... a published list of members of an economic development network that either shows or links to contact data; a list of names and addresses of contacts interested or involved in economic development; an economic development contacts directory, for example, the Global Registry of Contacts. Many organizations with memberships made up people interested or engaged in economic development make it a point to provide free-access directories online when they have an interest in helping area and local development representatives attract and serve prospects. For examples of how varied the sources for searching for area and local development representatives and finding out how to make contact with them can be, see the .network links to economic development directories for US states. You can arrive at the definition of industrial development directory simply by reading the phrase into the quote. Asking for information from an industrial development directory should be understood to mean the same thing as asking for an economic development directory.
