  • Abstract:
    Florida’s massive population growth brings higher emphasis on the freight and logistics aspect in Florida and the challenge of maximizing the economic development potential by attracting more companies to the State. Above mentioned challenge necessitated this project to find optimal areas which are most suitable for logistics activities to be located within Florida as a solution. In this study, the research team performed a literature review, conducted surveys and interviews with experts to validate survey results, developed crucial factors and final weighing scheme for LAC development potential. We acquired GIS Data from trusted sources owned by U.S/ Florida Govt. entities and created a LAC development potential and a corresponding heatmap for the entire State of Florida. All undevelopable lands were removed and then, on the final heat map, spot checks were prioritized based on the development potential of the land parcel and its land use type at the county level based on the combination of final LAC potential of the spot and the Land Use Type (Industrial/Vacant/Commercial/ Agricultural, etc.) shapefiles. Final spots were validated using Google Earth and ArcGIS Pro, and GIS mapping was performed to build a total of five maps for each county: one for validation, two for suitable land use, two for conflicting land use, all parcels with a very high/high or moderate LAC development potential. In this report, five spots are presented for each of the 67 counties of Florida, i.e., a total of 335 maps out of which, for each county; three maps are for suitable land use with successful LAC potential and two maps are for conflicting land use with successful LAC potential which lie near Industrial areas and can be rezoned for Industrial purposes and make them shovel ready. The maps identified all parcels with a very high/high or moderate LAC development potential. Results showed that the methodology used in this study is extremely useful in locating/determining optimal spots at the county level, which can help towards rezoning of future land parcels (which have very high/ high /moderate LAC development potential) to attract emerging businesses and maximize the economic development potential of the State.
