We have much to be thankful for

On this Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., the GIS Planning team has been reflecting on our many reasons to feel thankful. Despite the many challenges of 2021, we feel fortunate to have so many.

Wherever you are located, we wanted to let you know we are thankful for all of your efforts towards building prosperity and enhanced quality of life in your communities. In working for your community, you help make our world a better place. Even if not everyone understands what economic development is all about (and not everyone does) - we know they've felt a positive impact from your tireless efforts on their behalf.

We've been fortunate this year to add so many new EDOs and chambers of commerce to the GIS Planning family of customers. We are grateful you selected us to represent you to site selectors and investors around the world. We feel thankful for our fantastic team, our colleagues at the Financial Times, and our friends and acquaintances from across the USA, Canada, and around the globe.

We learn from you all the time. We appreciate your friendship, your insights, and the warm smiles we get to exchange at conferences and events throughout the year, both online and at in-person gatherings.

We feel fortunate to count ourselves among the innovative digital technologies that have made it possible to engage and nurture critical connections across great distances. We're proud of the ways our new ZoomTour software and 360° virtual property flyovers facilitate site selection online.

In many unexpected ways, being apart has brought us all closer together. 

For all of this, we are thankful. 

We wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
