Why is confidentiality so important when dealing with new clients or projects?
Companies like to keep their plans for new projects confidential for a number of different reasons. Sometimes there is a competitive advantage in keeping plans confidential. In instances where a company is moving to Wayne County from another location the company needs time to prepare their employees for a move to a new location. In many instances, the EDC prefers to let the companies make their own announcements. When the state is involved, they also will require confidentiality so they can have time to get all their necessary requirements completed. Failure to maintain confidentiality can put the project in jeopardy or even lose the project entirely. Site selectors remember from project to project if confidentiality has been maintained and failure to do so could result in that site selector not wanting to consider Wayne County for future projects.
