From new plants and warehouses to automation and supply chain visibility, U.S. manufacturers and retailers will invest billions in new infrastructure to support long-term projections during 2014. For states and development authorities across the U.S., targeting transportation-dependent business is more complicated than having the right combination of land, location, labor and links. It takes a business-friendly environment with an advantageous corporate tax structure, a motivated and educated workforce and strong consultant relations. Not to mention the need for savvy leadership in both state and local government with an understanding of the evolving requirements of a global supply chain. Join us for an exploration of the highly competitive environment of attracting transportation-dependent business.
