New and Expanded Analysis                                                                                                    

Conway Data was analyzed from 1999 through 2005 to determine the new and expanded activity.  The announcement data was grouped by the NAICS codes, and tables were created that list the most active industries in descending order according to the total number of announcements.  To be included in the data, the announced projects must have a minimum of $1 million investment, 20,000 square feet of space, or 50 employees.  It should be noted that Conway Data compiles the raw data on new and expanded facility announcements as states and communities report the activity.  Therefore, the data should not be considered all inclusive but a representative sample.

 

This appendix is divided into three components-- new and expanded activity for Wake County, a new and expanded analysis for the Southeastern Unites States, and a new and expanded analysis for the United States.
