As you may know from my past columns, the mission of the Greater San Marcos Partnership is to improve the quality of life for the residents of Hays and Caldwell counties by facilitating the creation of good-paying jobs. In part, this is done by recruiting companies that are shopping for an ideal location to expand.
Most companies that undertake the site selection process secure the services of a site selection professional. These site selectors have a great deal of influence in where companies choose to invest, expand, and create new jobs. Over the years, the team at GSMP has built up a large network of site selectors that are familiar with our region’s assets and competitive advantages.
Site selectors are experts at analyzing a community to see its business strengths and weaknesses and determine its ability to meet the needs of its client. Chief among that analysis includes a region’s workforce, supply chain, quality of life, infrastructure, demographics and business incentives. Because of that expertise, site selectors are a valuable resource to companies wanting to expand.
