ohioinsite.com to assist companies looking for locations or having sites to offer

Economic development in Ohio just got a little more technologically savvy.  The state, working in conjunction with the Ohio Business Development Coalition, Team Lorain County and other economic development partners has officially launched ohioinsite.com, an on-line tool for companies looking for business locations or entities with sites to offer.  The new site, connected with ohiomeansbusiness.com creates a more integrated marketing approach by incorporating Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to target specific locations and corresponding building specifications.

Ohio InSiteTeam Lorain County uses the site in its role as a liaison for businesses looking to locate in Lorain County and as a site provider. As a provider, TLC can input data about specific locations, making them available to a much wider audience. Users can input specific search parameters, including location, building size, price range and lease or buy options.

The site also provides specific data on the surrounding location in the form of workforce, demographic and business data.  By clicking a few times on the map results, users can overlay county boundaries, electric utility lines, hospitals, airports and universities.  According to the OBDC, the nonprofit organization that markets the state for capital investment, the site has the potential to increase the state’s global competitiveness by providing interested parties with the information that will allow them to analyze potential business locations by using one Web site.

Ohioinsite.com will speed up and simplify the business attraction and the site selection processes for businesses and consultants by efficiently delivering answers to the critical location decision questions through a map-based and dynamic interface.
