Site Selection – What I’m Seeing in the Field Right Now

Site Selection – What I’m Seeing in the Field Right Now
I’ve been in site selection and incentive negotiation for years, and I can say this with confidence: the game has changed.
In the past few months alone, I’ve seen:
- States completely overhaul incentive programs
- Local governments shifting priorities over night
- Companies rethinking entire location strategies – sometimes mid-project
Example
A client came to us with a clear plan: expand in a market they knew well. But halfway through, labor dynamics shifted, permitting timelines to be stretched, and the incentive landscape changed.
What started as a straightforward expansion became a strategic pivot.
We helped them re-evaluate, re-negotiate, and ultimately land a location that better aligned with their long-term goals—and secured a stronger incentive package than they thought possible.
