  30. CONSULTANT’S ANALYSIS “It is pleasant to see that state and local incentives declined in importance. Executives recognize that incentives should not be the primary driver for site selection decisions. [Incentives] cannot overcome a fundamental mismatch between a company’s needs and the characteristics of a state and community; they can only be a marginal improvement to an already sound locational fit.” By Lynn M. Bruce, Chairperson, Business Facility Planning Consultants, LLC (BFPC) Norcross, GA

  31. CONSULTANT’S ANALYSIS “AreaDevelopment’s Corporate Survey mirrors the mix of Austin’s location strategy consulting projects, and therefore provides insights into the future of our business. In this year’s survey there is confirmation of recent trends in Austin’s location selection projects. We see companies implementing a wider range of location strategies including expansion of existing facilities, development of new facilities, consolidation of operations, and outsourcing. Projects today are often an amalgam that involves some aspect of all these strategy alternatives.” By Don Schjeldahl, Vice President and Director, Facilities Location Group, The Austin Company Cleveland, OH

  32. CONSULTANT’S ANALYSIS “Reasons cited for increasing the number of facilities and for the decline in the number of facilities are not mutually exclusive. 1) We see companies in a rapid growth mode, that consolidate operations in order to gain efficiencies system wide. 2) Conversely, there are companies, threatened with loss of business, that are forced to increase their number of facilities in order to meet more demanding service expectations. This is particularly true for suppliers to mass-market retailers.” By Don Schjeldahl, Vice President and Director, Facilities Location Group, The Austin Company Cleveland, OH

  33. CONSULTANT’S ANALYSIS “In the past, incentives were never a deal breaker, but that trend is reversing for the larger projects that tend to create significant new jobs and have larger capital investments. As the U.S. work force continues to shift to a service-based economy, many states are revamping their incentive programs to attract service-related projects. While the capital investments for the service projects ten to be lower, they oftentimes create significant new jobs with higher wages than the traditional manufacturing jobs.” By Dean J. Uminski, Partner, Crowe Chizek and Company, LLC South Bend, IN
