Georgia: The
state chamber of commerce membership directory is the best available
Georgia economic development directory. Choose the link in the previous
sentence and scroll down to a link for chambers
of commerce and development authorities. Also, try scrolling down to
economic
development agencies. Because the state's association of economic development
practitioners locks its membership directory, Georgia provides the example
for how the Global
Registry of Contacts and the search
promise of The
Network are combined to
help its target
user group avoid the frustration of being denied access
to resource
and service provider rosters.

and Economic Opportunity. Individual counties are linked for access to
community
profiles. Select a county and a place
of interest within
it to obtain a profile. Scroll to the bottom of the profile
page to see local and
regional economic development contacts listed.
Another way to get to Illinois community
profiles is to manipulate a DECO Community Development URL
address string. The URL for the A-page is shown below.
Copy and paste it to your browser, then open to the address which lists
the names of counties and cities that begin with the letter A.
Simply change the A at the end of the address string to B or
another letter of the alphabet to move on to other pages listing profiles
and providing local access.

Because the website for the state's
association of economic development practitioners doesn't indicate
that if offers a membership directory, you can turn to the Global
Registry of Contacts for help. Search the GRC database for the
name of the location you want. Request free
personal search assistance in the event your query doesn't provide
what you want.

| Michigan: Although access to the Michigan Economic
Development Association's membership
directory is restricted you can try the state's Community
Economic Development Association (CDC/Nonprofit
Member Webpages). The
best resource, however, is a
document of the University
of Michigan Library which has links to regional and local contacts.
Selecting a link to a local government website, for example, may quickly
lead to spotting a chamber of commerce or economic development agency.
The recommendation that you use
the document to find location
data suppliers makes the case for libraries
as discussed on page 4 of About
Economic Development in the .network EDN website.
