INDUSTRIAL SITE READINESS INITIATIVE
Land Development
The Right Place, in collaboration with a group of its regional economic development partners, real estate professionals, and a consulting group, engaged in a site readiness analysis for West Michigan during the past year. The partnership conducted an environmental scan of large (100+ acres) sites across the region to create an inventory of potential future business development sites. The analysis included: • Proximity to Infrastructure • Distance to Highway/Freeway • Talent Availability • Current Zoning/Future Land Use The analysis collected nearly 150 potential sites which were then screened and narrowed to create a list of 30 “top tier” sites for future evaluation. Full technical documentation and geotechnical assessments were generated for each of the 30 sites, and further vetting yielded five primary and five secondary sites. The consortium will work with local communities to further develop these ten sites - which range from 74 acres to 285 acres - build ready.
