For organizations contemplating expansion or relocation, the availability of the perfect site and the right incentives may provide the fuel to power those plans. Bose McKinney & Evans has a team of attorneys with nationwide experience in government, corporate, environmental, labor and employment, bonds and public finance, real estate, utilities and tax law, who can assist with developing a comprehensive strategy for site selection, financing, and identifying, applying and negotiating for economic development and workforce development incentives.
