In January 1999, the City of Tacoma published an Internet site that will promote development in downtown Tacoma. Called TacomaSpace, it provides available property information for potential businesses and developers. The site utilizes ArcView IMS with Java and customized HTML. TacomaSpace links to Internet yellow page sites that provide business and census data, keeping data maintenance efforts to a minimum. Some of the data is updated by the business owners themselves, making this a public/private cooperative project. The partnership includes the Local Development Council, the Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County, and the City of Tacoma. TacomaSpace is an effective low-budget project that was implemented in a relatively short period of time. It leverages basic GIS data into an effective marketing tool for benefit to both the public and government. The City of Tacoma is using "outcome measurements" in economic development. Feedback will be used to track the positive effect of TacomaSpace on development and new businesses.
