Where in the World? Hungry enough to eat a small Yeti, you say? Be careful what you wish for. Pictured here is "the world's biggest hamburger," weighing in at an absolutely ridiculous 164.5 pounds (74 kilograms). Can you name the city in which this humongous hamburger is made? Very Big and Very Ready: Here's a Super Site from our 2007 report: the 1,400-acre (567- hectare) Franklin Farms tract in northeastern Louisiana that has I-20 access, dual rail and three nearby universities. Send Us Your Super Sites: Finally, it takes a Super Site to serve a super-sized project. And for the fifth 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 targeted for industrial development by a single end user. Site Selection's January 2009 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 anywhere in the world that fits those criteria, please send data and contact information to Managing Editor Adam Bruns at adam.bruns@conway.com by Tuesday, Nov. 18.

The economy proves this statement by the corporate investments that have been made. Since 1990, companies have invested almost 5.4 billion euros at Chemiepark Bitterfeld-Wolfen alone. And the site's investment volume could double in the next 10 to 15 years, Chemiepark Managing Director Matthias Gabriel believes. The chemical park's attractiveness stems from its interlinked materials-flow network and the related opportunities for cooperation, staff availability, low production costs, and good political relations. One hundred and fifty hectares are currently available for new sitings or expansions. Presently, there are 11,000 people in 360 companies working on the Chemiepark premises. Of that number, some 50 to 60 companies are pure chemical or chemistry-related businesses. But very many services for core chemistry are still brought in from external providers, providing a real opportunity to embark to new shores. www.invest-in-saxony-anhalt.com www.chemiepark.de CONDUCT LOCATION RESEARCH ON ANY U.S. STATE OR COMMUNITY DevelopmentAlliance.com has always offered detailed state, county, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical data for companies seeking new business locations in the U.S. ...
