Abstract

Geographical Information System (GIS) technology applications for use in the field of economic development are relatively new. Local economic development (LED) agencies utilizing GIS programs have noted very favorable results. The realities of a global economy and heightened expectations in the information age have motivated LED agencies to provide a wide range of spatial economic data on the Internet. This chapter reviews emerging GIS economic development applications, and encourages the adaptation of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) by local governments to further enhance the value of such programs.
