Thousands of sites throughout Michigan are listed, with more being added each day. Available site information can include site characteristics, street maps, brownfield data, existing structures, and aerial photos.

The Michigan Site Network (MISITENET), a 501(c)3, is an industrial site database through a collaborative effort by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Detroit Edison Economic Development Team, and the Michigan Economic Developers Association. It provides information on individual sites, including characteristics, digitized photographs location maps, aerial photos, detailed topographic maps, brownfield data, and existing structures.

• Detailed community information, including demographics              
• Up-to-date labor statistics, including availability and wage levels              
• Infrastructure information such as utility costs and transportation services, including highway, rail, airport, and port access
