Abstract
 Military Base Conversion and the Benefits of GIS Track: Business GIS Author(s): Alan Hersh, Dean Halstead To most people, military base conversion does not bring to mind GIS. However, the application of GIS to military base conversion has proven to be an immense benefit to McClellan Business Park, formerly McClellan Air Force Base. The ability to distribute multiple layers of diverse geographic information to the McClellan Business Park development team has aided greatly in expediting access to pertinent facility and land transaction information. Geographic and technical information that was previously only available through engineering, environmental and architectural firms has been brought to the desktop. Information regarding hundreds of buildings, aircraft hangers, previous uses, toxic soil conditions, wetlands, land transfers and lease agreements are now easily accessible. This paper will offer insights to the effective use and benefits of digital mapping. It will also explore the implementation of an ArcReader document to aid in the retrieval of a diverse library of technical information.
