Shovel-Ready Site Certification Program

The “Shovel-Ready” designation verifies that your site meets or exceeds the requirements for food processing or general manufacturing, which differentiates it from others competing for the same companies. This can significantly decrease the amount of time that site selectors or companies must spend on the detailed site investigation phase of a location study, and reduce the perceived risk in choosing your community over another.
