Location as defined in the Enterprise and Economic Development Glossary is tied to the mission of The Network. Location, location, location is an expression that can have meaning beyond that of estimating the value of real estate. Here the expression is used to emphasize that the place where the business decision maker is or plans to be operating is a critical determinant for the vitality and growth of the enterprise. Location in its market, for example, determines the level of success of the storefront commercial enterprise.

Site selection is the process of enterprise and economic development that is directly related to search for a location to accommodate an expansion or relocation as well as a new venture startup. The work of searching for a location involves gathering information (see the definition of location data supplier), analyzing it, and comparing places of interest (see the definition of comparative analysis). About Site Selection in Site Location Assistance.com has links to several introductions to the process broken down into a few steps that cover its essentials. Also, this library you are using has a site selection section.
