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 prototype "GIS Site Locator" website using Microsoft's Virtual Earth that dynamically queries geodata and broker information stored in Oracle Express. Users enter parameters such as price range and square footage to quickly find and display properties on a map along with photos and driving directions. An RSS feed automatically keeps users updated of relevant new properties.  Read more details...
