Abstract
Promoting Economic Development in Kingsport, Tennessee: A Web-Based Approach
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Sara Kidd
The Kingsport Economic Development Partnership (KEDP), located in Kingsport, Tennessee, is utilizing GIS and the Internet to showcase available industrial and office sites. The goal of the Web-based GIS application is to provide pertinent information about available properties to aid the recruitment of new industries and businesses for relocation to the Kingsport area. Visitors to the KEDP Web site will be able to query the available locations based on certain criteria. This will return a list of properties that meet the criteria, the location on a map, and a link to a photograph of the property. By providing an intuitive siteselection tool in a Web-based format, the KEDP will be able to attract a larger group of prospective recruits. The KEDP Web-based GIS application was developed using ArcIMS.
