Why expand here

Members list their labor sheds, wages and the colleges ready to build training around a new employer.
Certified and shovel-ready sites, with utilities, acreage and permitting timelines shown up front.
Every profile names a real economic development contact who responds to international inquiries.

OʻahuPlan ahead
Some communities sit in or near a Foreign-Trade Zone, which can defer or reduce duties on imported components. Ask each community about zone status.
Plan early for the visas your leadership and technical teams will need to set up U.S. operations. Immigration counsel can advise on options.
Many states and localities offer job, training and investment incentives. Eligibility is set by each program, not by this network.
Some transactions, such as acquisitions or sites near sensitive facilities, may need federal investment review. Legal counsel can tell you if it applies.
General information only, not legal, tax or immigration advice. Confirm details with qualified advisors and the relevant agencies.
