SiteInvest Tiers

Tier 1

Desktop Diligence

Reevaluate Sufficient/Insufficient Notice for next stage (Tier 2)

PURPOSE

The purpose of Tier 1 is to obtain a comprehensive, baseline understanding of the prospective site’s status in the site readiness process. Tier 1 is intended to collect desktop due diligence about natural and built environment attributes via a formal Request for Information.

Tier 2

Physical Site Diligence

Reevaluate Sufficient/Insufficient Notice for next stage (Tier 3)

PURPOSE

The purpose of Tier 2 is to complete and submit all recommended physical site diligence studies. A list of recommended site diligence studies will be provided to the site representative as part of the Tier 1 sufficiency notice. The purpose of the physical site diligence studies is to verify and further support the previously completed desktop diligence.

Tier 3

Site Positioning

Tier 3 sites are marked with a tangible outcome of a community’s Tier 2 investment.

PURPOSE

Tier 3 is designed to help the site representative establish a vision and a better understanding of how the property could develop for industrial use. After Tier 2 has been completed and approved, the site representative may have the opportunity to proceed with master planning their property.

The purpose of this tier is to provide an accurate portrayal of the site’s development potential to prospective end users while incorporating the findings discovered in Tiers 1 and 2.  In some instances, it may not be recommended to master plan the site, in which case the site may qualify for other investments to better prepare or market the site.

SiteInvest Premier Property

An industrial property attains the SiteInvest Premier Property  classification following the completion of all three Tiers. Properties designated as SiteInvest Premier Properties represent significant investments by Cooperative Energy Economic Development and state and local economic development organizations. These industrial properties have all site information readily available to provide to an industrial client in a format that is well-planned, yet flexible.
