“In the best of times, Zoom Prospector makes it easy for anyone to access key data businesses need to make a location decision — everything from demographics to utilities to internet options and key infrastructure,” said Becky Harrington, business development director for Delaware Prosperity Partnership. “With more than 97 percent of site selection research done online — especially now at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as companies are asked to postpone visits— the new tool allows developers to see aerial and street-level views of locations, as well as vital workforce information and data on amenities and spending patterns as they prepare to build and grow their businesses once restrictions are lifted.”

Other key data available through Zoom Prospector include:

transportation options
utility services
business development incentives
complex data on employment, economic trends and training needs by region

“When employers have ready access to the data and can see Delaware’s value proposition — especially how our state is poised to get back to work as soon as it is safe to do so — Zoom Prospector will make the business of deciding to Choose Delaware a lot easier,” Harrington said. “The way this data can be combined, compared and contrasted is flashing a well-deserved spotlight on Delaware and will be an important tool in helping us come back economically stronger than ever.”
