Plan for future economic growth with ArcGIS
Use Esri’s economic growth technology to evaluate community needs, support economic development policy, and create location-aware strategies.
ArcGIS spurs economic development planning by enabling you to evaluate future scenarios, identify capacity constraints, and measure impact over time.
Evaluate development scenarios before committing public dollars or adopting new policies. ArcGIS helps communities compare land use alternatives, housing capacity, transportation needs, and infrastructure demand in a 3D environment.
Test proposals, measure impacts, and identify potential tradeoffs early to support more informed economic policy development.
See where housing, transportation, utilities, and workforce capacity may fall short as demand grows. ArcGIS combines demographic, infrastructure, and labor data in one map to reveal which areas are ready for development and which require investment.
Use geographic analysis to target workforce development, evaluate infrastructure priorities, and strengthen economic development planning before capacity constraints limit growth.
Geographic analysis helps leaders align investments with strategic goals and expected community outcomes.
ArcGIS exposes where investments will have the greatest impact. Analyze demographic change, development activity, and community needs with ArcGIS. That robust analysis informs economic development policy and reveals funding opportunities.
Monitor performance measures related to housing production, infrastructure investment, job creation, and community growth in one view.
Dashboards powered by geographic information system (GIS) technology combine real-time and historical data, giving a view into whether initiatives are achieving intended outcomes. Then, adjust your development strategy as conditions change over time.
CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES
Anticipate future needs, analyze alternatives, and make long-term community investment decisions with a single geographic system.
Learn how ArcGIS supports additional economic development priorities.
An economic development strategy is a long-term plan for creating the conditions that support business growth, job creation, and community prosperity. It also helps communities align infrastructure, land use, and investment priorities to support future growth.
ArcGIS supports these initiatives by helping communities evaluate future needs, model development scenarios, and monitor the outcomes of policy and investment decisions over time.
GIS supports a community development strategy by showing where current capacity can support growth and where additional investment may be needed. ArcGIS brings infrastructure, workforce, housing, land use, and demographic data together in a geographic context.
Economic development organizations and local governments can use ArcGIS to:
This location-based approach strengthens economic development planning by replacing assumptions with consistent analysis.
An economic development strategy helps communities prepare for future growth by aligning funding opportunities with long-term economic goals. Without a plan, communities may struggle to support new business investment and expansion.
A strong economic development strategy helps communities:
ArcGIS supports economic development planning by helping local governments evaluate economic growth over time. This helps communities build more effective economic development strategies and support sustainable, long-term growth.
Community growth analysis requires both authoritative data and tools for analysis, scenario planning, and stakeholder engagement. Organizations often need data from multiple sources, including city, county, regional, and state agencies.
Common datasets include:
In ArcGIS, communities commonly use:
To communicate findings and build support for a development strategy, organizations can use:
Together, these technologies help local governments create long-term data-driven economic development strategies.
