Writing Homework Help

Assume that you are a business owner seeking a location for a new factory.  Your company makes products that are relatively “clean” that is to say – they do not pollute the environment, nor will they produce any dangerous waste products.  Thus, most communities would welcome the plant.

You are seeking a place that has a stable, and well-educated workforce, as well as ample affordable housing, access to quality healthcare, and a good educational system.  You have narrowed your choice to the following towns:

1.  Santa Cruz, California

2.  Madison, Wisconsin

3.  Manhattan, Kansas

4.  College Station, Texas

5.  Amherst, Massachusetts

6.  Athens, Georgia

Exercise:  With the information above:

1.  Use the internet to research each of the cities

2.  Rank-order the cities based on the criteria noted

3.  Please show your collected data in a table format for decision-making

3.  Select the best city for your new factory, and state why (minimum of two pages)
