Albuquerque, NM The Metro New Mexico region ranks #3 in the nation for corporate expansion or relocation, but its web site at http://www.nmsitesearch.com ranks #1. NMsitesearch.com, created and sponsored by the Metro New Mexico Development Alliance, is the top pick for regional agencies in the economic development category of MuniNet Guide & Review.
MuniNet, which has been recognizing outstanding web sites for the last five years, recently selected the cream of the web crop in the area of state and local government, municipal finance and urban affairs.
Directed at a target audience of expansion consultants and researchers, corporate relocation specialists, and economic development officers, NMsitesearch.com opens with rotating quotes indicating the regions outstanding placement on lists of economic criteria from workforce productivity to the number of PhDs per capita.
"The balance of the web site is full of information to support these claims, from 'Economic Engines to tax incentives, demographic statistics and more," said Mardee Alvaro, editor of the MuniNet Guide & Review.
"The site features a searchable property database that finds available real estate for industrial and office properties based on user-specified criteria. Interested parties can also sign up to receive updates about new properties and other information via email" she continued.
Researchers and site consultants can find all the financial, labor force, and technical information they require at one convenient Web address, explained Susan Johnson, president of the board of the Metro New Mexico Development Alliance. Rich profiles of each of the communities in the Alliance (Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and Los Lunas/Belen) help consultants find the specific location that best suits their needs.
Photographs offer a visual panorama of Metro New Mexico, from the golden leaves of cottonwoods along the Rio Grande to technological treasures in optics, photonics, aerospace, nanotechnology, microelectronics, biotechnology and informatics.

(www.cityofseattle.net) (big cities); Old West Durham Neighborhood Association at www.owdna.org (citizen participation); National Issues.com at www.nationalissues.com (issues); the Wisconsin Capital Finance Office at www.doa.state.wi.us/debf/scf (municipal finance/bonds); and Stateline at www.stateline.org (news).
