GIS and Economic Development

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer a powerful way to combine consumer and business data in a geographic framework to provide the tools to create economic development strategies and make effective decisions.

GIS can help answer questions such as:
- What is the spatial pattern of businesses and households within a
community?
- Where are the best sites for a proposed industrial park?
- Which retail sectors are underrepresented within a community?
