Abstract
 Multiagency Collaboration in Statewide Development Tracking Track: Census and Geodemographics Author(s): Stacey Benjamin, Richard Sutton Applied Geographics has worked with the Maine State Planning Office, the Maine Office of GIS and Maine's primary electrical utility, Central Maine Power Company, to produce multi-year metrics for measuring new development in the state since 1990. This collaborative effort yielded a cell-based analysis framework that accommodated both the CMP requirements for customer confidentiality as well as the need for accurate spatial representations of these changes over time. Cell size in this array is 500 m, and cells are populated with absolute connection values year over year. These data are essential for monitoring development patterns and guiding state planning and local zoning changes and provide a widely applicable development tracking model that allows for easy creation of animated series in ArcGIS.
