Consultants to industry are in a unique position to understand the site selection requirements of their corporate clients. Taking this into consideration, the editors of Area Development magazine decided to conduct a “flash survey” of a select group of highly respected consultants who work with a nationwide client base. We asked the consultants to name their top-10 state choices for meeting eight site selection criteria:

1. Lowest business costs
2. Most business friendly
3. Corporate tax environment
4. Overall labor climate
5. Work force development programs
6. Fast-track permitting
7. Rail and highway accessibility
8. Shovel-ready sites
