SiteNet Dispatch
December 1, 2005
 

It's all material in this week's edition of Project Watch, whether it's bearings in North Carolina, steel trusses in Hawaii, composite parts in Poland and Alabama or drywall wherever we can get it.

This edition of the SiteNet Dispatch also features new content from the November 2005 issue of Site Selection. Visit siteselection.com to read:

  • Editor's View: "Your Job Description Is About to Expand"
  • Virginia Spotlight: "Traffic Counts"
  • World Reports, featuring new projects in Nicaragua, Brazil, Iceland, Singapore and Dublin.
Martinsville is making the connection between on-track excitement and the economic slingshot effect that motorsports industry projects can bring to Virginia.

There's more far-ranging expansion news online in global project coverage from London-based partner Oxford Intelligence. This week's installment includes:

  • "Austrian RLB OOe Opens New German Branches"
  • "Grohe Opens Production Facility in Thailand"
  • "Tontarelli to Open New Plant in Luxembourg"
  • "German Schlemmer to Open Romanian Plant"
  • "Interoute Moves Customer Centre to Prague"

This week on SiteNet, our newest edition of "What's Your Take?" asks, "What do you call it when a territory recruits businesses from another territory in a state of crisis ... 'poaching' or 'business'?" So far, just over 59 percent of you say, "business." Visit SiteNet and participate now.

This SiteNet Dispatch is sponsored by Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development.

Musical chairs was fun when you were a kid. But when you're trying to find the right location for your business, you have no time for games.

That's why the state legislature created the Kentucky Economic Development Partnership Board in 1992. With representatives from both the public and private sectors, the board oversees the Cabinet for Economic Development, independent of the push and pull of politics. That means you don't have to talk to an all-new staff every four years. No more musical chairs.

Most important, our people know their business — which is to help you with yours. Contact us at 800-626-2930 or visit us on the web at www.thinkkentucky.com.
