Since the completion of the Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield Joint Land Use Study (FS/HAAF JLUS) in September 2005, implementation efforts of the study have been slow, but steady. Meanwhile, the growth rate in Coastal Georgia continues to climb and land that was once forested or in agricultural use is being converted to more intense land uses. Through an ArcGIS Server application multiple users will have the ability to access the JLUS Implementation GIS data and perform tasks such as editing data, performing queries, and executing geoprocessing functions via the internet. Esri business partner GISi's BuildOut Simulator™ enables JLUS partners to simulate and visualize developments that embody the overall vision of their communities. This GIS-based tool is used to demonstrate growth alternatives to elected officials, planning commissioners, land owners, developers and the public. It is also used to track potential population increases from residential development.
