Abstract	The overall objective of this 4-phase study was to provide the Four Corners Regional Commission with an evaluation of industries best suited for the region. In order to satisfy this objective, 100 industries and products were identified which have the highest potential for development in the total region, as well as in specific subregions. The resources of the subregions and the requirements of these 100 industries were analyzed. The industries were ranked according to the number of subregions where they were among the top 40 feasible industries. It was found, for example, that production of metal office furniture ranked high in all subregions, while production of engine electrical equipment ranked among the top 40 industries in only 1 subregion. Using tables in the document, industries which are most feasible for the region as a whole can be ascertained, as can those industries which are best suited to each of the subregions. In addition to identifying the industries most suitable to the region, the document contains analyses of (1) the region's existing industrial and economic base, (2) barriers to industrial development, and (3) types of support required to attract new industries and strengthen existing ones.
