Facility Location One of the most visible signs of government investment in a community is in buildings and facilities. Hospitals, firehalls, recreation centres, and schools are key indicators of government's involvement in the everyday life of the community. Because such facilities are a major investment, governments are often met with immense public pressure when new facilities are to be built. Location analysis can help governments respond to public questioning by providing public officials with sound analysis of neighbourhood factors and needs. Location analysis provides particular benefits in planning the long-term evolution and growth of a system of facilities, such as the schools that serve a city. An location analysis of the people and neighbourhoods of the city pulls together vast amounts of different kinds of information. Using maps and geographic analysis, school board officials can see areas of high growth and special needs. Location analysis using current data and projections for future growth and change helps administrators make plans that make the most cost-effective use of resources, for now and the future.
