That might seem like an odd idea to many of us, but the leader of the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corp. sees “virtual buildings” as a way to attract businesses to our community.
Julie Engel, president and CEO of GYEDC, explained to the Yuma Sun recently that virtual buildings are ones which have been designed and received all the necessary permits to be built, but have not yet been constructed. The idea is that it could be quickly constructed with minor modifications for a business wanting to locate here.
Finding the right building can be the major factor in determining whether a business locates here. There may be vacant buildings available, but they may not fit the client’s needs in terms of location, zoning, size or whatever need.
