Site Selection & Project Development
We help international companies evaluate, select and establish U.S. operating locations.
OUR APPROACH
CFW evaluates industrial facilities, infrastructure, utilities, workforce, logistics, economic incentives, tax environment, permitting and expansion potential within a single decision framework.
Eight disciplines, one decision framework
01 — Location Strategy
Compare states, metro areas, cities and specific jurisdictions — aligning operating costs, logistics and strategic objectives into a clear location plan.
02 — Industrial Site Selection
Define the hard property requirements: size, clear height, manufacturing use, power, docks, truck courts, outdoor space, retrofit and expansion potential.
03 — Utilities & Infrastructure
Assess power capacity and upgrade feasibility first, plus water, wastewater, natural gas, telecom and transportation infrastructure.
04 — Supply Chain & Logistics
Compare ports, highways, rail/intermodal access, supplier networks and customer distribution.
05 — Economic Development Incentives
Coordinate with state, city, county and economic development organizations to evaluate tax abatements, grants, infrastructure support and workforce programs.
06 — Workforce
Labor availability, wage levels, manufacturing and technical talent, recruiting channels and training programs.
07 — Regulatory & Permitting Roadmap
Permitting pathways for manufacturing use, building, electrical, fire, environmental, stormwater, waste and certificates of occupancy.
08 — Project Coordination
Coordinate brokers, attorneys, CPAs, engineers, environmental consultants, utilities, economic developers, contractors and financing resources.
