Site selection is a crucial step in any project, impacting its potential success by evaluating a location's suitability based on various factors such as local demographics, infrastructure, and workforce availability. This process is vital across industries, including retail, utilities, construction, transportation, and real estate, as it helps optimize operations by ensuring accessibility, cost-effectiveness, compliance with regulations, workforce availability, and market proximity. The process typically involves defining project requirements, engaging stakeholders, researching and shortlisting locations, evaluating sites, and selecting a location that aligns with both current and future project needs. Modern tools like Felt enhance this process by providing data-driven insights and visualization capabilities that streamline decision-making and improve the likelihood of selecting the most advantageous site.
