Site Selectors Guild

The National Standard for Site Readiness

Companies making location decisions move fast and eliminate sites early. Most sites are not ruled out because they are bad sites. They are ruled out because key information is missing, unclear or unverified when a site selector needs it.

REDI Sites is the first national site readiness designation program in the United States, developed in affiliation with the Site Selectors Guild. Every site that completes the process receives a designation reflecting its current level of investment readiness, telling site selectors exactly where it stands, and telling you what to do next.

Kentucky's Touchstone Energy Cooperatives
We believe that preparing local sites for growth is one of the best investments we can make. That is why we are proud to help fund participation in the REDI Sites program. This initiative gives Kentucky's Touchstone Energy Cooperatives communities an independent, national benchmark for readiness, along with a clear roadmap of what due diligence is complete and what work lies ahead.

Norfolk Southern
When Norfolk Southern set out to build a verified sites program to promote prime rail-ready sites across our network, the Site Selectors Guild's REDI Sites Program stood out as the platinum standard. Partnering with REDI Sites not only elevates the quality and visibility of our site portfolio, it also reinforces our commitment to delivering rail-served locations that are development-ready and vetted by the very consultants who advise our target customers. This collaboration sharpens our competitive edge and strengthens our messaging to the global business community.

Sunflower Electric Power Corporation
The designation enhances our credibility with site selectors, supports business attraction efforts, and reinforces our joint commitment to long-term economic growth in rural Kansas. REDI Sites is more than a designation; it's a strategic investment that helps communities and utilities prepare for growth and attract quality development projects. Recognizing the strength of partnerships, Dodge City/Ford County Economic Development, Victory Electric Cooperative, and Sunflower Electric Power Corporation collaborated to promote the Dodge City Business Park through the REDI sites program.

Partner Tulsa
We see the designation as more than a recognition of the work already completed. It is a platform to generate greater exposure for Fair Oaks, continue advancing the site's readiness, and position Tulsa to compete for more transformational projects that can create lasting economic impact.

Senior Economic Development Manager, Partner Tulsa
Grow Cedar Valley
Receiving REDI's Platinum designations will elevate two Industrial Parks in Waterloo/Cedar Falls Iowa, even further by driving additional opportunities for business attraction domestically and internationally. The REDI designation strengthens both Parks' ability to compete for projects seeking locations capable of supporting today's accelerated development schedule.

Schuyler County Partnership for Economic Development
The REDI process was thorough and helped us evaluate Schuyler County Business Park property through the same lens that site selectors and prospects use. It provided us an opportunity to update critical information that can create speedbumps in the site development process. We are receiving inquiries that may never have considered Schuyler County before.

The Value

Why Designate a Site?

A REDI Sites designation puts your site in front of the people who move projects forward, and gives you a clear plan for what comes next.

Seen by Site Selectors
Your site and its full supporting documentation sit in the REDI Sites database, where Guild members and their teams evaluate locations.
Found by Everyone Else
The public viewer shows your site's basics and designation level to companies, developers, and brokers. Full documentation stays with Guild members.
Independent Validation
The standard was built by site selectors and is reviewed annually. Terracon reviews your documentation, then practicing site selectors confirm the score. This is not a self-reported checklist.
One National Standard
The same criteria in every state, so a Gold site in one market means what a Gold site means in another.
A Clear Roadmap
Every site gets a feedback report showing where it's strong and where gaps remain. That report is a practical plan for your next investment.
Marketing You Can Use
Designated sites receive marketing materials and the right to display the REDI Sites logo and their designation-level logo.
Ready When a Project Calls
Assemble your exhibits once, in a standard format, and answer fast when a prospect asks.

About Us

Site Rating System

The REDI Score

Every site is scored on a 10-point readiness scale built from five weighted categories: utilities, ownership and entitlements, environmental, ease of development, and logistics. The score reflects documented, verified readiness.

Below 6.0
These sites are in the early stages of readiness. Some foundational due diligence may be complete, but additional documentation and development steps are needed.
6.0 - 6.9
Sites at this level meet basic readiness standards. Core infrastructure and documentation are in place, but there may still be a few key areas requiring additional work or clarification.
7.0 - 7.9
Sites at this level demonstrate a strong overall readiness profile, with many key elements of due diligence in place. There may still be a few areas where additional work could improve the site's competitiveness.
8.0 - 8.9
Gold sites reflect a high level of preparedness, with nearly all due diligence completed and minimal (if any) barriers to immediate development.
9.0 - 10.0
These are exceptional sites with comprehensive due diligence, excellent infrastructure access, and a high degree of development readiness. Platinum designations are rare and reflect the highest tier of readiness in the program.
