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. References Bastian, L. (2002).
