Facility City publishes its list of the four biggest economic development deals of 2001.
"To find out about these projects, Business Facilities asked each state to submit what it thought was its most influential project announcement of 2001. From these submissions, we chose the four with the most capital investment and compiled our Big Deals. " These four announcements may not have created the intense media frenzy Boeing's decision to locate to Chicago did, but they're bigger investments and their economic impact is just as noteworthy.
