What is Site Certification?

• Site Certification is a designation that a site meets certain readiness criteria

– Criteria are based on location needs of private sector companies – There are no national standards for site certification

• Site Certification is a trend that is growing rapidly – Driven by speed-to-market pressures on companies

• Site Certification is an initiative being undertaken by various groups with a stake in economic development

– State and regional organizations – Utility providers

– Individual developers – Etc.

(11)

What is Site Certification?

• MSC believes that that there are three key attributes that are the basis of site readiness required by a site certification program:

AVAILABLE

Site really is for sale or lease, with established terms and conditions

FULLY-SERVABLE

If all infrastructure is not already at the site, then at least detailed plans with schedules and price tags have been developed

DEVELOPABLE

Environmental and other related assessments (and mitigation, if necessary) are complete

(12)

What is Site Certification?

• A well-designed site certification program is:

Realistic: Based on the due diligence necessary for projects

Rigorous: Development projects are exhaustive, a site certification

process will be as well

Educational: An opportunity to better understand the siting process

and to gain knowledge of a site’s strengths and weaknesses

• Site Certification provides an opportunity to be more competitive in site selection projects

– More effective marketing (pro-active and re-active) – Knowledge of site’s strengths and weaknesses – Better prepared to offer development assistance

(13)

• Attracting investment and jobs is highly competitive, and being prepared creates a competitive advantage

• Company timeframes are getting shorter – Site selection

– Start-up

• Communities need to be prepared with sites that are ready for development

– At the end of the day, companies do not build facilities in communities, they build them on sites
