Contra Costa Economic Development website integrates spatially-aware database and MS Virtual Earth

Challenge
To promote economic development, Contra Costa County Community Development Department wanted a website to help real estate professionals and business owners search for properties available for development or new business locations.

Solution
Farallon developed an easy-to-use "GIS Site Locator" website that lets users enter parameters such as price range and square footage, then view matching properties on a map in MS Virtual Earth. Click on a property to display additional information, including photographs, driving directions and current traffic conditions. An RSS feed automatically keeps users updated of relevant new properties.  Read more details...
