FCG is on the GO!
Hello Readers!
We will have a pretty full schedule over the next few weeks! Right now, Deane is in Columbus, OH for the IEDC Annual Conference. He is scheduled to give a presentation with Steve Vierck of Angelou Economics, Mike Davis of the City of Moraine, OH, and Carolyn Kennett, the Economic Development Director of Parsons, KS. The title, “Your Major Employer Leaves – What Now?” touches on creating jobs and restoring hope to areas that have been hit hard by the struggling economy in the United States. We will post the Powerpoint once the conference has come to an end.
Deane and Paige will be attending the Solar Power International 2010 trade show in Los Angeles, October 12 – 14! We sent out a flyer to a handful of exhibitors, and we are in the process of setting appointments. Are you going to the show too? Let us know!
I have yet to see any new files posted to the CoreNet Global site regarding Deane and Anatalio’s Phoenix presentation. I will post some links as soon as I see something!
Have a great week, Everyone!

CoreNet Phoenix was an FCG success!
Hello, Everyone!
Our last day at the Phoenix CoreNet Global Summit yesterday (Tuesday, September 21) was great! Deane spoke on the SNAP Session panel, “Secret Weapons: How Corporate Real Estate Executives Research the Best Locations,” with Anatalio Ubalde of GIS Planning. It was a great session full of helpful information. Particularly good advice was given regarding corporate real estate websites; the “dos” and “don’ts” of content compilation and placement. It is pertinent to see concise contact information and real estate data! In the spirit of the first SNAP Session about social media, presented by Ji Kim of Biggins Lacy Shapiro and Nate Stumpf of Development Counsellors International, FCG has created its own Twitter account: @footeconsulting and a Facebook account: FCG on FB.
Over a nice CoreNet lunch, Deane and I met with Janice Karcher, VP at the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce. We are currently working on an important project with Janice and her team at the GRCC. It was a great meeting, and we are moving forward as scheduled!
I personally met some awesome people at CoreNet, and I would like to thank them all for making my first CoreNet experience so wonderful. CoreNet should have highlights from the event on their website shortly, so we will post some great stuff soon.

FCG Associate recognized in Minot Daily News article
We’d like to give a well-deserved “way to go” to our associate, Paige Webster! His participation in the North Dakota Commerce Department’s “Dating Game” at the North Dakota Governor’s Rural Community Summit caught the attention of the Minot Daily News.
The article, penned by staff writer Jill Schramm, is a great read! Everyone can check it out here: Luring business resembles wooing suitor
Thanks, Minot Daily News, and of course, thanks, Paige!
