Beyond Shovel Ready:
How to Know if a Site is Truly Ready for Development
Monday, August 10, 2026
1:30 - 2:30 PM
Too many sites look “shovel-ready” until a project is underway and the real constraints emerge. This webinar, sponsored by OEDA with Terracon, a leading engineering firm, walks through a practical, step-by-step approach to determining whether a site is truly developable.
The Webinar will start with a desktop review that uses publicly available data to identify physical, environmental, infrastructure, and regulatory limitations early, and translate them into real costs, timelines, and opportunities. Participants will learn how to use tools such as flood maps, GIS data, soil surveys, and environmental databases to conduct smarter upfront due diligence, ask better questions of engineers and developers, and confidently position sites for successful redevelopment rather than costly surprises.
