in today’s competitive market for cultivating economic impact and job growth, texas now has a boosted advantage when it comes to attracting companies and industries to the state. entergy texas today announced the revamp of its site selection center, a free online commercial database resource that makes it easier for businesses to search for and secure prospective buildings and sites. in a few easy clicks, companies can complete a property search based on their diverse drivers, such as needing a building that has 50,000 people within a 30-minute drive time or having access to a navigable waterway.
“this dynamic platform will assist in driving viable businesses to texas, and we are pleased to provide the new site selection center to our 2022年世界杯比分 partners,” said steve pilgrim, director, business & 2022年世界杯比分 at entergy texas, inc. “our commitment to growing the state’s economy stands firm, and we’re confident the new website will further position texas as a serious contender for new opportunities.”
entergy texas, inc., along with our 2022年世界杯比分 partners, will host a user’s training on the new site selection center website at two different locations. the first session will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on nov. 14 at the south east texas 2022年世界杯比分 foundation (setedf), 2210 eastex freeway in beaumont. the second session will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on nov. 15 at the navasota center, 101 stadium drive in navasota. interested parties can learn how to maximize the new site to meet and exceed their organization's 2022年世界杯比分 goals through enhanced features, such as mobile platforms, esri data and mapping tools and much more. to register for the event in navasota or beaumont, click here.

“entergy texas has always valued assisting our partners with attracting new industry to texas,” pilgrim said. “now, more than ever, we’re excited for the future, as we know the launch of the site will further enhance our business development efforts.”
originally launched in 2008, the site selection center quickly became an important tool used by economic developers, site selection consultants and businesses throughout the country. now, after combining years of experience gained and feedback from partners, entergy’s new site selection center is completely redone and includes some of the following enhanced features:
- sophisticated property search options with advanced filtering capabilities and data exports;
- demographic and business data, esri, which allows customers to view data by drive-time, radius, polygon, parish, region, state and more;
- simple property listing tools like full previews, enhanced multimedia management and a “quality score” summary to measure listing completeness; and
