Congrats to GLS Principals @johnlongshore & Sarah White for being inducted into the @SiteSelectGuild! They join GLS' @didicaldwell as members, putting GLS among a very small, but elite group of SSG firms with more than two members. https://t.co/Bg1Q5UtzIO #siteselection #econdev pic.twitter.com/r2AMFxR2QN

Congrats to John Longshore and Sarah White on joining the illustrious guild. (And to Didi Caldwell, of course, for having the foresight to recruit them to her team.)

I've been following John Longshore for awhile, and he's published a number of excellent blog posts on his website IamJohnLongshore.com:

Marketing to Site Selection Consultants: 101, 201, and 301
Site Selection: The Importance of Confidentiality
Economic Development The Number that Matters, Collaborate Regionally or Die, and Truth about Statistics

350 new Arizona manufacturing jobs coming to @CityofFlagstaff! UACJ Whitehall joins Arizona’s electric vehicle manufacturing supply chain. Grateful for their investment in our state! #econdev @9thFloorAZ @dougducey https://t.co/M9LakmpGqG

Our take: Congrats. Arizona is absolutely killing it (And I say this as a Texan.) If you think about Flagstaff at all, you probably imagine a small town full of gaudy-Grand Canyon themed-motels and the last chance for cheap gas before the park. You probably also imagine that it looks something like the Radiator Springs. You'd be wrong on both accounts.

Recovery is stirring, ya'll! @InnovateEconomy's latest dive into the #smallbiz pulse survey data shows significant directional changes across metrics. Conditions have stabilized. Optimism is up.@KennedyODell3 has the rest --> https://t.co/ZPICjHTMEp pic.twitter.com/t5jWdp3SXK
