The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Site Selection Data Standards are common information-gathering questionnaire that communities complete for site selection consultants. These standards were launched by International Economic Development Council in New York in 2000. The data set contained over 1,000 data elements organized into 21 spreadsheets. The standard dataset facilitates the decision of site selection and serves as a tool to promote economic development for communities that strive for relocating employers. The datasets provide critical information to help location professionals and businesses determine the suitability of the community for their site needs. It also helps economic development professionals better understand the economic base of their communities for all development and planning purposes.

The purpose of this guide is to enable Spoon River Partnership for Economic Development and other concerned agencies to update the IEDC Site Selection Data Standards for Fulton County in future. It provides step by step process of information collection for these datasets. The IEDC Site Selection Data Standard tables for Fulton County and City of Canton were completed by Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in collaboration with the Spoon River Partnership for Economic Development, Canton Main Street and University of Illinois Extension in 2014.

These tables are available with Spoon River Partnership for Economic Development and these are to be referred while using this guide as the step by step process follows the same order in which information is required in IEDC Site Selection Data Standard tables for Fulton County.

The process of updating information requires general proficiency with Microsoft Excel as the guide frequently asks you to use general Excel formulas. Part of this guide requires navigating through government data sources such as US Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics but it also requires contacting relevant agencies for gathering information. The guide refers to a number of government and private data sources to collect data. It is important to note that the exact location of the required information on these sources might change in future. Although the guide focuses on the procedure followed in collecting IEDC Site Selection Data Standards for Fulton County in 2014, most recently available information shall be used while updating the datasets in future.

The guide uses a list of businesses for Fulton County, IL (accessed on September 04, 2014 from ESRI Business Analyst) which is provided with this guide in Microsoft Excel format. The data accompanying this guide is available on request from Spoon River Partnership for Economic Development (see Appendix 1 for contact information).

10


given x-value. The known values are existing x-values and y-values, and the new value is predicted by using linear regression. An example forecasting function can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksCVXXh5_hk. For each age group, use syntax FORECAST(x,known_y’s,known_x’s) -
