- Each site submission requires an individual RFI response. Understanding that a lot of information is being requested in a short amount of time, please prioritize site submissions in order of importance to your region.
- The intent of this exercise is to cast a wide net capturing both greenfield and brownfield opportunities for new construction and redevelopment. Sites with existing, vacant, usable industrial space (such as might be viewed on CoStar) should be deprioritized.
- For rural locations, a target minimum size of a site is 20 acres; for urban locations, a target minimum size is 5 acres.
- Section 1 of the RFI will be utilized to conduct state-wide analysis of PA’s industrial site inventory, compare available sites to the requirements of key priority sub-sectors, and to begin to build a baseline of the Commonwealth’s overall site readiness. This section is REQUIRED.
- Section 2 of the RFI gets to a level of detail necessary to position a site for rapid business expansion or attraction. While this section is not required, any additional information you are able to provide will assist Team PA and DCED in understanding where short-term opportunities exist.
- Responses to this RFI will be analyzed using the approach of a corporate site selection project. Including as much information as you are able on the site option will directly impact the quality of feedback provided on the site’s relative readiness for an investment project.
- SAVE YOUR WORK: At the bottom of each page of the survey, there is a “Save” button. Clicking the “Save” button will exit your survey and generate a unique URL link that you can copy into your browser and return to your work. Click the “Save” button each time you want to save your contents and return later. The same URL link will be generated each time you click “Save”. After you click "Submit" on the final page of the survey, you can use the same URL link to return to your individual survey and complete additional sections.
