• New dental office facility resulting in 35 to 40 jobs and new office construction.
• Stirling Technology, a high-tech firm with NASA and US military contracts, with $4M in annual payroll used the website data in their nationwide site-selection process; the new expansion headquarters opened in 2005 with approximately 100 jobs.
• Within the first week of launch this town of 55,000 people in Southeastern Washington received a business prospect from Orange County, California.

“Within a few days of being online we were getting hits from Sioux City, Iowa and Orange County, California.  We’re up in Southeastern Washington so that was pretty impressive to us to have people calling in from places we’ve never been, looking at sites in our community.  We’ve only been at this [process of using ZoomProspector] for a few months and we’ve already got a dental complex that’s going to bring 35 to 40 jobs. They used this ZoomProspector software to find their site.  Very certainly, it has already paid for itself in my estimation.”
