Description
This chapter has shown a small sample of GIS applications in economic devel- ment.
GIS is a powerful tool for data analysis and presentation, and the economic development rami cations are truly signi cant.
The speed at which data and stra- gies can be coordinated is clearly changing the way economic developers approach their job.
There are a number of important trends that are likely to result in GIS becoming more pervasive in the economic development community.
These include declining costs of GIS software, increased computing power, and the growth of Web-based GIS applications.
There also has been increase in GIS skills among economic development professionals.
