As economic developers, our mission to attract businesses and investment to our communities just got significantly easier. Sitehunt has unveiled a new addition to its “GIS to Data Pipeline”: automated report generation system that revolutionizes how we market available properties, giving our communities a competitive edge in the business attraction landscape.

Enhanced Property Marketing with Instant, Professional Reports

Sitehunt’s new system automatically generates five comprehensive property reports instantly:

Soil Analysis Reports showcase soil composition, drainage characteristics, and construction suitability – information that potential industrial or commercial developers need when evaluating sites. No more waiting weeks for environmental assessments to answer basic questions.

Slope Analysis Reports provide detailed topographical information that immediately demonstrates to prospects which portions of a site are most buildable. These visual representations of elevation and slope are powerful tools when presenting properties to site selectors.

Property Frontage Analysis helps us highlight transportation access advantages, visibility, and development potential. For businesses where customer access is critical, these reports instantly communicate the value of our sites.

Broadband Services Reports address one of today’s most critical infrastructure questions. With these reports, we can immediately demonstrate available providers, technologies, and maximum speeds—essential information for today’s technology-dependent businesses.

Transfer Tax Reports outline state-specific transaction information, helping us transparently communicate tax advantages and closing procedures to potential investors who may be comparing our properties to those in other states.

Competitive Advantage in Business Attraction

“These automated reports have transformed how economic developers market their properties,” says Dane Carlson, Sitehunt CEO. “Previously, when site selectors requested detailed property information, economic development teams would scramble to compile data from various sources–often delaying their response by days or even weeks. Now, they can provide comprehensive data packages instantly, positioning their properties at the front of the line.”

The automated reports enable you to:

  • Proactively address prospect questions before they’re asked
  • Provide site selectors with complete information packages on first contact
  • Highlight property advantages with professional, data-driven reports
  • Demonstrate your community’s technological sophistication and responsiveness
  • Focus staff time on relationship-building rather than research tasks

Maximizing Limited Resources

For economic development organizations with limited staff and budgets, the automated reports represent a significant resource multiplier. The system allows smaller communities to present professional-quality property information that previously would have required expensive consultants or extensive staff time.

“We’ve eliminated the information gap between large metropolitan areas and smaller communities,” notes Carlson.. “Our rural properties can now be presented with the same level of professional detail as those in major markets, leveling the playing field for business attraction.”

Accelerating the Development Timeline

By providing comprehensive site information upfront, we’re helping prospective businesses accelerate their decision-making process. This advantage not only increases our chances of landing projects but also helps businesses move more quickly from site selection to breaking ground.

This innovative tool is now being rolled out to all economic development organizations through Sitehunt, empowering us to market our communities’ properties more effectively than ever before.
