This information, which can be purchased or licensed, as well as free information, has allowed site consulting groups such as Donovan's to build proprietary databases. “This has greatly facilitated our ability to conduct the up front part of location analysis very efficiently,” Donovan says. “When you start reaching out to the communities—that is when the process gets time consuming.” ... The source of the quoted (italicized) part of this paragraph is from the magazine, Business Xpansion Journal: Article titled: Positives And Negatives Of The Internet In Site Selection.

In a 2003 issue of Expansion Management Magazine, Donovan is quoted as saying: The Internet helps us gather information to both eliminate and include areas until we get down to the final choices ... We can use a combination of [Internet] sources to identify the best-looking communities. The source article was titled, The Internet Impacts Site Selection.
