"Expansion Management surveyed 70 of the industry's most prominent site selection consultants in order to find out which cities their clients found the most attractive when it came to selecting an expansion or relocation site in 2003." The result is the sixth annual ranking of "America's Hottest Cities for business relocations and expansions." Not surprisingly, the sun belt cities are the most attractive places for corporate relocations.
