Ohio InSite – Using GIS to Attract Capital Investment

Looking for a place to invest in Ohio? Look no further, Ohio InSite is here! Ohio InSite allows users to search for available land or buildings in the state. Base map information is from Google and there is a lot of thematic data that can be added to the map.

Once the user finds a location of interest, a report can be generated based on the county of the selected location or based on the radius.

There are several types of information that can be included in the report including demographic information and a business report (to see other businesses in the area).

I generated a report to see how the system works. The output is a pdf file with the county of interest, followed by the demographic trends of the area. The report was clear and simple to follow – very useful for capital investors.

I think this will be very useful to help attract capital investment in the State.
