MCEDC says site-selector outreach generated 11 RFIs and one win
Summary
MCEDC staff told the committee that targeted site-selector engagement produced about 11 requests for information in the last two years, with five active prospects and one project won; staff cited fam tours and targeted outreach as drivers.
MCEDC officials told the Montgomery County Economic Development Committee that focused outreach to site selectors and targeted trade-show attendance have produced measurable leads in recent years. "Over the course last 2 years, we have had just about 11 requests for informations for very large projects in the county," Priyas Neupane, a director of economic development, told the committee.
Neupane said five of those RFIs remain active, one project has been won and the rest are paused because of the global economic climate. He described fam tours and site visits as important to communicating the county's innovation ecosystem: "They were particularly impressed to see, you know, a company that's been here for 75 years has invested another $3,040,000,000 into the facility," he said as an example MCEDC uses when talking with site selectors. MCEDC staff asked the committee to consider case studies to demonstrate how the work plan translates into outcomes.
