Metro Denver EDC launches redesigned Web site
The address is the same, but when users of www.metrodenver.org visit today, they'll find an entirely redesigned Web site with a host of new features and a vastly enhanced user experience.
The Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation (Metro Denver EDC) officially launched its new Web site today. Along with its www.metrodenverGIS.org Web site, providing comprehensive online real estate searches, both sites create a formidable 1-2 resource for national site selectors and companies considering relocation or expansion in Metro Denver and Northern Colorado.
"This new site is truly a more 'user-friendly' version of our previous site. Site selectors are 'data geeks' and we've developed a site that will make them euphoric," said Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver EDC.
New features on www.metrodenver.org:
- DataCart - users can now register and collect research with an innovative new tool, the free DataCart—allowing users to download files individually or all at once in a compressed ZIP file that can be shared with clients
- Site Selection Center - a one-stop-shop for national site selectors and C-level execs with details on company relocations and expansions, as well as real estate, tax, and incentive information and an interactive maps section
- Metro Denver: Mile High Advantages - a section featuring regionalism, workforce, health & wellness, infrastructure, and sustainability—all areas that distinguish Metro Denver from other regions
- Industry Profiles - data and key messages for the region's top-six industries, including downloadable cluster profiles and industry association contacts
- Communities - an expanded communities section to promote our region's counties and cities with interactive mapping, demographic snapshots, community profiles, and economic development contact info
- Company database - increased functionality including Google maps to search over 60,000 regional companies by name, industry, city, and zip
- Cost of Living Calculator - employees or companies can estimate Denver's cost of living compared to where they currently reside—in six broad categories—including housing, utilities, and miscellaneous goods and services
- Investor Center - a resource section for Metro Denver EDC investors with investor profiles, recent initiatives, leadership info, and a searchable investor database
