Vetted Sites are identified by Intersect Illinois as the top sites in Illinois based on eight site characteristics: acreage, utilities, logistics, permitting and entitlement, workforce, ownership, local and state incentives, and environmental & topographic conditions.

The Vetted Sites program provides site and infrastructure data for fast-moving projects, while also helping properties and communities understand opportunities for improvement that would prepare them for additional growth. The program provides ample site data, so companies can make location decisions as quickly and accurately as possible.
