Here's a well-designed and organized local government web site for business. It covers a lot of ground by having a tight organization. Look carefully at the organization, and you'll see that the navigation works well for a wide range of business situations and issues.
Refer to this site when you are talking to local government officials about how to streamline their operations for businesses on the web.
In August or September, Tempe will add more information, including maps of commercial and industrial properties and maps of vacant land in Tempe.
If you are really getting into the development of local government e-strategies to support busienss development, visit the Center for Technology in Government.

There are no experts any more. The only place to learn about economic development is from other EDPros who are doing it.
One other point: the prevaling approach (paradigm, if you like) in economic development is shifting from competition to collaboration. There are a lot of reaasons underlying this shift, but here's the important insight: You, your community, and your region will do better by collaborating and sharing information.
