The core service is publication, for free, of an announcement of plans that will affect economic development in a location. The purpose of such an announcement is to call for introductions and proposals or information from resource and service providers engaged in the enterprise and economic development process. Additional services are included to identify and alert targeted contacts, to act as a go-between in gathering proposal and information, as well as to help protect confidential plans and activities.

service: The Network offers to publish a webpage of up to 30 KB online for free for an enterprise developer or anyone else with a plan that would ultimately bring about economic development.

Said page would announce a plan with a description that is or is similar to a project profile. The announcement would also contain a list of wants and need sufficient to draw the attention of resource and service providers so that they would be motivated to respond with introductions, information, proposals, etc.

In other words, the published announcement would broadcast your plan on the Web as a call for responses. For example, an announcement of a site selection project would identify a targeted geographic area and call for location data suppliers to respond.

The page will be allowed to remain online for up to 12 months or until such time as, within the year, the objectives for making the announcement are satisfied. We will accept proposals to provide additional space in The Network if needed.

As a part of this service, we also offer to email up to 50 targeted contacts without cost or obligation in order to alert them to the fact that an announcement is of interest is published in the Site Selection Directory. We tell them how to they can retrieve it.

service: Confidential plans and activities can be protected in one of two ways:

(1) You make your own announcement of plans and requesting informational responses without revealing who you are. This done by arranging to receive responses at an address that obstructs the efforts of anyone who doggedly tries to find out who you are. In other words, use a blind address. Suggestion: Secure your blind address by having it far enough away from where you are that things can't be figured out the a process of elimination.

(2) Consider asking us to collect information as your agent (who we are) or consider using a similar service located away from where you are. We charge $30.00 per hour plus expenses for our secure information collection services. Expenses include opening information packages, inspecting them, repackaging and sending them on to you. Our services are provided by personnel having over 40 years successfully handing confidential information.

Using a trustworthy information collection service means that you can announce off or on the Web without concern, except for those loose lips inside of your own organizationloose lips sink ships. Using an information collection service such as we offer along with the Site Selection Directory means you, as enterprise developer, are able to arrange for protection of confidential plans and activities from curious eyes inside.

service: If you are not interested in publishing on the Web but do want to announce a plan and call for input, we are available as a contact identification and information gathering service. The fee is $30.00 per hour plus expenses.
