PIKE COUNTY – Pike County Economic Development Corporation participated in the Site Selectors Guild Fall Forum event in Indianapolis Oct. 1-3. The Guild is a great way for communities to showcase their strengths and development opportunities to 33 different site selectors.
The Site Selectors Guild is the only association of the world’s foremost professional site selection consultants. Guild members provide location strategy to corporations across the globe and for every industry, sector and function. The Guild program aims to build strong, working relationships between economic development professionals and the industry’s top site selection consultants.
