THE EcDev Network by economic & tourism professionals for professionals and businesses in local economies are discussing Site Section with Chris Lloyd .
Dan Taylor, Bob Minhas and Lara Fritts, host a twice weekly clubhouse call focused on Economic Development.
Give it a listen, there are some great discussions on Site Section with Chris Lloyd.
Insightful EcDev Clubhouse Convo today. Thank you to Chris Lloyd for being today's speaker. Notes by Ryan Hamadeh
Topics included: Site Selection, Future of Workplace, Current Trends, Incentives, Virtual Site Selection, Quality Data, Remote Workers
Quick recap:
1. Retail is not necessarily dead, people want experiences and retail should focus on the human element.
2. Cybersecurity is attracting big investments.
3. Data is hot, make sure your community has adequate water & power infrastructure to accommodate data centers.
4. Myths: Companies are not reshoring; Death of cities is exaggerated.
5. Future of Workplace is uncertain, no consensus yet. Each industry & company is reacting differently. Remote work has compliance and regulatory hurdles.
6. Inflation is a problem if it's long term.
7. Virtual site selection is here to stay but it will not replace the human element needed when shortlisting.
8. Communities should invest in Research, Marketing and Infrastructure. If you have small budget, leverage regional networks, state partners, utility comp. --> Know your community is no.1
These are raw, uncut and unedited recordings. Think of them as unplugged. These podcasts are not about production values, but about the content of the conversations. We hope you enjoy.
