Step 1

Client Criteria Identification and Regional Evaluation 

LIVIC advises clients on determining specific site criteria, which is evaluated against public and private development constraints and available incentives to produce a comprehensive regional property comparison.

Examples of site design criteria include:

  • Proximity to client specific resources (i.e., distribution warehouses, transportation hubs)

  • Regional demographics

  • Available workforce

  • Current commodity pricing

  • State and local regulations

  • Available tax programs, incentives, and qualification requirements

LIVIC reviews each region to determine site viability, standard development time frame, and cost.

Our Site Assessment Tool simultaneously evaluates multiple sites on:

  • Utility infrastructure

  • Surrounding environmental hazards
