Philadelphia Economy Receives a Boost with ArcGIS Server ® Philadelphia Uses ESRI GIS to Attract New Businesses Philadelphia’s Decision Maps is a Web-based tool that helps visitors find the most desirable place to locate a business. Philadelphia understands the need to attract new business investment to the city. It helps revitalize and strengthen neighborhoods and maintains a high quality of life for its citizens.
