Abstract
Economic development efforts are addressed as "family of services" to prospective businesses. There is some uncertainty if transportation/logistics should be considered as a factor within the family of services. The overall goal of this study was to develop a better understanding of the relationship between transportation and rural economic development. Information was gathered in order to make a comparison between the perceptions of economic development specialists and manufacturers about important location factors, including transportation.
