REDI Sites, the first-ever national site readiness program, has completed its third round of evaluations and announced a new group of designated sites. These sites have undergone the rigorous assessment protocol developed by the Site Selectors Guild, the only association of the world’s foremost professional site selection consultants.
This latest round highlights seven communities that have demonstrated meaningful progress in site preparedness and are positioning themselves for economic development opportunities and investment.
Round Three Designated Sites
Platinum
- Southern Tier Logistics Business Park (Horseheads, New York)
Gold
- Heartland Commerce and Technology Park (Campbellsville, Kentucky)
- Logistics Center North Houston at Cleveland (Cleveland, Texas)
- Schuyler County Business Park (Watkins Glen, New York)
Silver
- Baseline Commerce Park (Ocala, Florida)
- Tucson H2K (Tucson, Arizona)
Bronze
- Dorchester County Technology and Business Park (Cambridge, Maryland)
Expansion into New States
This round marks a major milestone in the growth of the REDI Sites program: New York and Maryland previously had no designated REDI Sites.
With this announcement, the Southern Tier Logistics Business Park, Schuyler County Business Park, and Dorchester County Technology and Business Park now lead the way as the first locations in their states to earn a REDI Sites designation.
Their participation reflects a growing national commitment to improving investment readiness and embracing a unified site evaluation standard.
What’s Next: Round Four Evaluations are Underway
REDI Sites continues to grow rapidly. Eighteen additional sites are currently undergoing Round Four evaluation, with designations scheduled to be announced early next year.
This expanding pipeline reflects the program’s increasing adoption by communities seeking a wider pool of shovel-ready sites, national visibility among certified site selection consultants, and a competitive edge in attracting investment.
About REDI Sites
Launched in 2024, REDI Sites brings consistency, clarity, and credibility to the site readiness process by evaluating properties across the country using the same nationally recognized criteria. Developed by the Site Selectors Guild, the program applies a unified, consultant-designed methodology that helps communities demonstrate readiness and gives corporate decision-makers confidence in comparing sites nationwide.
Each site is evaluated across core criteria, including:
- Ownership and entitlements
- Ease of development
- Utilities
- Environmental
- Logistics
Sites may earn one of five designations: Emerging, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
