Winter Garden Florida Economic Development Website Launched

This news story features the launch of the new Winter Garden, Florida website http://www.WinterGardenFLProspector.com, which speeds up and simplifies the process of attracting businesses to the area and aides in site selection for expanding or relocating companies. It is geared toward site selectors, who work for companies to find ideal locations for expansion. Visitors to the site will get a detailed view of available buildings and land, market demographics, geographic characteristics and more by using the GIS mapping technology. Users can zoom in and out or scroll across a map of West Orange County to identify information and view geographic layers of information such as aerial photos of properties, community redevelopment areas, police and fire stations, land use and bodies of water. Demographic reports can be created to analyze the area's labor force, education levels, consumer spending and more. Businesses are also mapped by industry, showing their distribution and concentrations throughout the region. The site was developed for the City of Winter Garden by GIS Planning, Inc. (http://www.gisplanning.com) of San Francsico. You can read more at http://www.wotimes.com/articles/2008/03/08/news/business/business01.txt.
