GIS + Economic Development Helping Grow Indiana’s Economy Jim Sparks, Indiana State GIO Carol Rogers, IBRC CIO IGIC 18 Feb 2009

“Realization is growing that almost everything that happens in a public policy context also happens in a geographic one: transportation planners, water resources studies, education subcommittees, redistricting boards, planning commissions, and crime task forces all must consider questions of where along with the usual ones of how, and why, and how much will it cost. GIS, by answering the first question, helps to answer the others.” - R.W. Greene “GIS In Public Policy”

Show Me! GIS IS CRITICAL TO ECODEVO

Site Location is #1 Highways Rail Airport Fiber Optics Labor Markets Demographics Business locations Competition Routing Drive times Trade areas

EDOs can dig it ~ 50 counties have GIS-driven apps on their economic development sites Most use for site location Some go deeper with the aid of their county or city GIS offices

Kudos from business Your internet service [Indy SiteFinder] simplified our research, saved us time and money and provided a cross-connected data base in one location that was easy to access even from far away.” – Joseph M. Cross, General Manager, Shadeland Universal Medicine, LLC

Kudos from Utilities Unifix, which makes concrete board, was looking for an existing facility for about three years but couldn’t find anything. With our GIS site they found a spec building over in Vermillion County, Indiana that met their specific needs. Utilizing the maps and demographics on our website was definitely a deciding factor in Unifix moving to Indiana.” – Mike Heaton, Economic Development, Duke Energy Indiana

Can GIS Help Our Recession Woes? 300K unemployed since Aug /3 of Indiana counties will see rates climb to 10% and higher in ‘09

Better Intelligence = Opportunities We must counteract with better information Use GIS to find opportunities we know are out there Use GIS apps to help regions understand their strengths, sell their assets

Regional Collaboration is Key Currently, more than five economic development regions have been developed within Indiana Some cross state lines GIS-driven apps central to their regional sites

Let’s Talk How do you help economic development? Share your ideas on how WE can show EDOs best uses of GIS! Pepper us with questions!
