What is GIS?

GIS (geographic information system) is an analytic framework for managing and integrating data. With GIS, one can link information to location data, such as income to census tracks or business type to parcels. GIS is a useful analytical tool for economic development; therefore, enterpriz Cook County is expanding the use of GIS for job creation in Cook County. If you have an economic development opportunity that could benefit from GIS, please contact an enterpriz Cook County representative.
