Economic Restoration and Planning

The demographic characteristics among neighborhoods in a community can be very distinct. ArcGIS provides access to apps and data that identify the socioeconomic traits of a neighborhood and, subsequently, the need for specific services and businesses that can improve the quality of life.

A key to economic restoration strategies is understanding the spending habits and workforce status of a neighborhood. GIS provides authoritative data in focused web apps that allow both decision-makers and businesses to understand the detailed needs, abilities, and service areas of residents.

ArcGIS delivers a platform that allows planners, administrators, and economic developers to model potential short-term changes to permitted uses and zoning at a site, a block, or an entire study area. It also measures the economic and cultural impact of these potential changes on businesses and residents.

While temporary changes to permitted use and zoning are in place, planners can use ArcGIS to understand the potential impact of such changes to an area. This empowers planners to use a data-driven approach to long-term economic restoration.
