Projects Location Database for Conway Data/Site Selection Magazine 2021

Project Submission Form

Please help make Georgia the No. 1 state for business!

Conway Data asks the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) to submit information on new or expansion projects that meet certain criteria. This project information plays an important role in determining the awards mentioned above.

GDEcD submits information to Conway Data for all projects in which GDEcD is a partner. Do you have additional new locations or expansions in your community that can be counted?

Conway Data has made some changes for 2021. Those include:

  • Projects must be submitted each quarter instead of twice a year
  • Confidential projects are no longer accepted. That means that anything you submit via this form will be shared with Conway Data/Site Selection as information available for public release
  • Requirements for projects to qualify in the New Lease category have changed.

To qualify in 2021, a project must:

  • involve a facility that is a manufacturing facility, data center, office, call center, distribution warehouse, research & development operation or headquarters,
  • have been publicly announced, be under construction or completed, and
