Web-Based Geocoding Solution for Large Federal Agency

The Challenge

The Empowerment Zone tax incentives are worth approximately $5.3 billion to small and large businesses in the specified zones. These incentives encourage entrepreneurs to invest in renewal communities, open new businesses and expand existing ones, and hire tens of thousands of local residents. The challenge was to provide a web site that potential investors could visit to determine if a business or residence was located within a renewal community, empowerment zone, or enterprise community.

The Story

Group 1 Software’s GeoStan with AddressBroker, along with point-level data, provided a cost effective, flexible solution that was easily embedded in the agency’s existing application. As the Empowerment Zone tax incentive program grows, the solution is able to accommodate any additional requirements.

The Benefits

Cost Effective

Investors can quickly and easily identify whether or not their investment would qualify for tax breaks.

Rapid Deployment

Our technology easily works with existing applications allowing tens of thousands of business owners and tax preparers to visit the website each month.
