(EFI) the state's economic development agency. Therefore, marketing activities <br />identified in the Economic Development Element are the responsibility of the EDD. The EDD has <br />developed promotional materials designed to attract prospective companies that are relocating or <br />expanding operations and maintains a strong business retention program. <br />neee tly the EDD `a � � The EDD continues to focus its efforts on developing stronger <br />,, Ll1V LLLT <br />relationships with site location consultants. Site location consultants represent firms that are actively <br />searching for new locations to accommodate an expansion or relocation of their operations. These <br />professionals also provide valuable insight into the site selection process and can offer communities <br />advice on promoting an area for business attraction. <br />Familiarization tours, or FAM tours are conducted where the EDD invites a group of <br />consultants to visit Indian River County to see the benefits our area offers their prospective clients. <br />Prior to a company executive or the site location consultant scheduling a site visit to Indian River <br />County, the EDD submits a detailed proposal to the company or consultant outlining the properties <br />or buildings that may meet their project needs along with other attributes that could benefit the <br />prospective company's operations. During the site visit, the EDD meets with the prospective <br />company or its representative to determine which sites in Indian River County that were previously <br />suggested_are most suitable and to discuss incentive programs that could be available to the <br />company. EDD walks the prospective company through the local site location process and <br />facilitates the incentive application process once eligibility is determined. The company's due <br />diligence process in evaluating all sites under consideration often takes months. <br />EDD has assisted sevem4numerous local businesses in securing incentives and training grants which <br />enabled them to expand their local operations thus creating jobs for local residents. The EDD has <br />developed material, such as the promotional thumb drive, the Enterprise Zone b--eehure, and a <br />eentives br-ee ••—promotional videos, and revamped its website, offering information needed to <br />assist businesses in making their relocation and expansion decisions. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 56 <br />
