Dennis McAndrew discusses the speed of corporate location decisions and Ohio’s shovel ready sites with Crain’s Cleveland.

Ohio’s Site Inventory Program was created in 2016 to fill the gaps in available commercial real estate by identifying developable land and providing funds for environmental studies, infrastructure, and other costs to ready the sites for large-scale developments. This program, which resembles programs in many other states, is designed to meet the needs of companies making rapid location decisions. Dennis McAndrew spoke to Crain’s Cleveland about the importance of having sites ready for development to meet the needs of companies who have tight timelines for planned new facilities.
