Site Selection Projects
HERRON CONSULTING provides corporate location optimization, site selection, business relocation analysis, incentives negotiation and
economic development consulting services to major US and global companies as well as small businesses. Our site selection consultants
offer clients individualized solutions for remaining competitive in a global marketplace, and have executed site assessments, business
relocation feasibility studies and site selection programs in most states, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. Following are a few
examples of the successfully completed assignments representative of this work:
Economic Impact Assessment. Project Plover, a logistics facility in the Midwest, is designed to support continued debottlenecking of
the nation's commercial transportation/distribution system. As part of the site selection, our location consultants are assisting project
investors to examine the range of community economic impacts that can be anticipated. Early indications are that the facility's direct,
indirect and induced economic activity will dramatically increase state and local employment, wages, sales and government revenues.
Our model demonstrates that over 20 years the project will add more than $400 million to local coffers and create nearly 9,000 jobs in
the region. Additional economic & fiscal impact assessment projects

AREVA North American Heavy Manufacturing Facility Site Selection.
Recently HERRON CONSULTING location consultants provided site selection and
incentives negotiation services for AREVA's first North American heavy
manufacturing facility. It will employ more than 500 technical, scientific and
production personnel engaged in the design, engineering and manufacturing of
reactor vessels. Following rigorous identification of suitable manufacturing
locations, we performed detailed site assessments, economic incentive negotiations
with states and communities, and financial analyses of candidate locations. A site
was selected on the property of Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding at Newport News,
which is a partner in the project. A joint venture company, AREVA Newport News,
will build and operate the $363 million facility.
