Baldwin County, Alabama, like so many other coastal resort counties, is experiencing tremendous growth. Between 1990 and 1996, Baldwin County population increased 25 percent, with the civilian labor force growing 26 percent. This growth has brought new challenges to the men and women responsible for governing what had been a mostly rural county. Against this backdrop, the County investigated and implemented a $4 million GIS project. This paper describes the trials, tribulations, and successes of implementing and integrating GIS into the mainstream activity and thoughts of Baldwin County.
