From February to September of 2025, WEA convened and moderated an Industrial Land Readiness Workgroup with regional land use experts from both the private and public sectors. The goal for this workgroup was to develop recommendations that would be presented to Metro that would seek to improve their methodology for counting employment land. It was clear that those around this table sought to have the employment land count more accurately reflect what the market is seeing. This recommendations memo can be found here.
