Abstract


Paper  GIS Analysis and Outcome Measures for Tacoma's "Destination Downtown"
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Donna Wendt

"Destination Downtown" is a project managed by the Tacoma Economic Development Department. More than a plan, it is an active implementation of a strategy that involves simplified zoning, siting, and implementation of light rail, mixed uses, housing, transit, street level activity, and aesthetic improvement. The paper describes how an experienced GIS team put together analysis to help bring this project to reality. For feedback in the process of economic development in downtown Tacoma, GIS is used as a front-end to outcome measurements.
