This week's installment includes:
  • "Lloyd's Establishes First Chinese Office"

Finally, though we usually don't yak about advertising matters here, this issue marks a significant milestone: a major extension of the content delivery modes that are available on SiteNet. This week's installment includes our first-ever SiteCast — a video message from the folks at the Greater Richmond Partnership. If you'd like to learn more about the burgeoning migration of video content to the Site Selection family of web sites, click here.
