The Department of Employment and Economic Development ("DEED" or "State") is requesting proposals from qualified Responders to provide certification of location sites for the Minnesota Shovel Ready Sites Program (“Program”). DEED intends to contract with a single Contractor to certify sites statewide. As the economy fluctuates resulting in new and changing demands for workspace, the need to have an inventory of certified industrial sites for development is critical. The reason for this is simple: the location decision process demands available sites that are ready for development because decision-making timeframes continue to shorten. Companies looking to build new facilities want sites that are ready-to-go and relatively risk-free.
