| "Why do I read Site Selection?" |
|
|
|
 |
As a dedicated community and economic researcher, it's in my blood to want to compare our metro and state to everywhere else. The well-designed Site Selection rankings frequently validate Greater Des Moines' economic development efforts, at the same time offering that all-important outside opinion of our area's caliber for business and life. But, honestly, who could resist opening a magazine with Bob Gravlee's whimsical Governor's Cup portraits on the cover? They put a smile on my face every bit as big as a good ranking!
