regional partner for the remainder of the decision-making process unless that is counter to the company's wishes. As long as locations outside of the MSA remain in serious contention, the GREATERMSP staff will remain an integral part of the team including serving as primary point of contact if appropriate or requested by the company. • GREATERMSP staff will provide prompt and timely communications with regional partners, in accordance with the protocols set forth within these operating principles and protocols. • If there are not multiple options identified within the region, the GREATERMSP staff will act as a support for the community or entity that is being reviewed. If only one location or entity is in contention, that partner should be the lead point of contact with DEED. • If contacted concerning an intra-regional move and no representation is made that the company may leave the region, the GREATERMSP staff will quickly extricate itself from direct involvement. If contacted about a potential relocation within the region, when a credible threat to leave the area entirely also exists, the GREATERMSP staff will remain involved in a manner that suits the particular situation. • Regional partners will respect the GREATERMSP staff's lead on projects the GREATERMSP generates, refraining from contacting a company or its representatives until requested to do so by the company or GREATERMSP staff. • In situations involving clients from DEED, regional partners can elect to work with GREATERMSP staff to be part of a potential regional response, seek GREATERMSP staff advice and assistance (if resources are available) and/or submit its own response directly to DEED. If a partner elects the third option, the GREATERMSP staff asks that the partner simply alert GREATERMSP staff so that they can be aware that a partner's area may be in contention for a prospect. 3.
