1,400-acre Franklin Farms parcel
The 1,400-acre (567-hectare) Franklin Farms parcel near Holly Ridge in northeastern Louisiana boasts I-20 access, dual rail and three universities nearby.

Finally, it takes a Super Site to serve a super-sized project. And for the fourth year in a row, Site Selection is scouring North America and beyond for land tracts measuring 1,000 acres (405 hectares) or more that are intended for industrial development by a single end user. Site Selection's January 2008 issue will feature its Super Sites update, including a comprehensive and informative chart listing multiple data points and contact information. If you have a site that fits those criteria, please send data and contact information to Managing Editor Adam Bruns at adam.bruns@conway.com by Tuesday, Nov. 20.
