Site Qualification
Find out what could stop a site before you commit.
We assess the approval path, local opposition, power pathway and incentives for a specific site, and separate what is confirmed from what is estimated or unresolved.
What it answers
Five questions every site has to survive.
01
Can it be zoned?
The approval path, the bodies involved, and a realistic timeline.
02
Who will show up to the hearing?
Local politics, organized opposition and what they'll focus on.
03
Is there a credible power pathway?
Utility capacity, upgrade needs and timing, backed by documented evidence rather than a capacity claim.
04
What incentives are realistic?
Abatements, exemptions and credits worth pursuing, and what the town will want in return.
05
What would we change?
Phasing, program and community terms that turn a hard site into an approvable one.
The verdict
Every assessment ends with one of three answers.
Proceed
The path is clear enough to commit. Here is the sequence, the risks to watch and what to lock down first.
Restructure
Approvable with changes to phasing, program or community terms. Here is what to change and why.
Pass
The risk outweighs the upside. Better to know now than after the option payments and studies.
What you get
A short report you can take to your investment committee.
A written assessment with a one-page summary and verdict, nearby approvals and denials, a stakeholder read, a power pathway assessment and an incentive outlook.
A working session to walk through it with your team. If we pursue the site together, the fee is credited.
