economic development directory

... a publication or database containing an ordered arrangement of records of names, addresses and other information for finding and getting in touch with economic developers; that which serves to direct its user to resources for economic development.

Economic development directories are typically references for finding and getting in touch with resource and service providers engaged in the process. As such, they are economic development contact directories that are especially useful to enterprise developers and site selectors looking for location data suppliers.

Economic development contact directories are guides to places seeking economic development and, therefore, are generally made freely available for prospect use.

The Network provides its Global Registry of Contacts as an economic development directory. Plus, it provides free access to outside directories. For examples, see US Economic Development Directories. Also, take a look a one of the places in The Network where you can Google business publications in which economic developers advertise.

This link (www.ecodevdirectory.com) to the website known as the Economic Development Directory is an example of how thoroughly useful The Network is as a resource for participants in its mission when they want to find and get in touch with contacts.
