Project Planning
When constructing a facility, front-end planning for a project provides substantial savings and enhanced performance. Sacrificing project planning for the sake of upfront speed or cost can be detrimental to project success. This month, John Baker of O'Neal, Inc. provides details on the process and benefits of project planning.
Electrifying Site Selection
Electric utility providers deliver an imperative service for site selection projects, but many power companies play a much larger role in the economic development process. Lee Johnson of Tennessee Valley Authority illuminates the ways in which electric providers impact the process and the data they need from companies in order to provide the most value.
Utilizing GIS in Site Selection
The Geography of Business is more than just a catchy tagline. Executing multi-state site selection searches for Quest clients requires an expertise in location analysis, supported by the use of geographic information systems. Dewey Evans outlines some of the ways in which GIS benefits the site selection process in the latest Insights.
Quest was Featured in O’Neal’s Apostrophe 7.1
In 2011, O’Neal provided EPC delivery of a $235 million
grassroots facility for Mitsubishi Electric Power Products (MEPPI). Leading site selection and incentive negotiation services were two principals from McCallum Sweeney Consulting, Kim Davis and Lindsey Cannon. Their efforts led to a site that met MEPPI’s criteria and netted a reported $34 million in incentives.
