E.Leonard Transportation Center.NTL-GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS-GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSUS Transportation CollectionThe Inland Empire has experienced exponential growth in the area of warehousing and distribution facilities within the last decade and it seems that it will continue way into the future. Where are these facilities located? How large are the facilities? Can identification and location of these facilities be used by strategic decision makers at the commercial, governmental and military level? This pilot project gathered information from 41 cities (from Victory Valley, Coachella Valley and Riverside to the San Bernardino areas) to determine what information was available at these locations. The information collected revealed that there in no one central database for warehousing and distribution facilities. Also, from the interviews with the city economic development personnel in the 41 cities, information was gathered which helped to identify the key elements which need to be collected for the next distribution project
