• Hire an engineer to provide a plat of the property, develop a site plan and design building plans for the project.
• Hire a contractor to construct the building pad.
• Work with utility providers to either extend all utilities to site or to provide extension plans.
• Develop plans to extend road access to the site.

How to Submit

In order for a site to be considered for Build-Ready status, it must be demonstrated that the property meets all readiness standards. A proposal that outlines how each standard is met must be provided. To submit a site for Build-Ready consideration, you have two options:

• Hard Copy – Submit a hard copy proposal with a detailed outline.
• Digital / PDF – Submit a proposal as a pdf file, making sure the file is organized and properly labeled.
