North American Location Guide - by fDi magazine		Contact : TEL 847-304-4655 Bruce Donnelly bruce@gdi-solutions.com (Biography)

This page summarizes the "City Spotlight" presentations in the 2007 North American Location Guide of fDi magazine. This will also feature similar presentations from the North American Cities of the Future awards in April and June. It also selectively provides links to past coverage of fDi advertisers.

Some content is temporary just to demonstrate how this new feature will work.

This new guide was developed in cooperation with fDi magazine and advertisers in North America as a new tool to assist executives who are responsible for business site selection decisions. www.fdimagazine.com

The new fDi Atlas feature online in May will provide presentations about more North American cities and regions as they become available.

City Spotlights:

Arizona cities (.pdf) Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Flagstaff

Toronto Canada (.pdf)

The .pdf versions to download are large files - roughly 1MB.

These articles will be integrated into the new fDi Atlas guide to global business locations. See other recent advertisers in fDi as listed below.
