Computer system with economic development decision support platform and method of use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides computer-implemented systems, platforms and methods that support decisions related to investments in infrastructure and other assets intended to promote economic development. A geographical region is selected. Historical observations taken over a predefined timeframe associated with image and survey data for the geographical region are received. The historical observations are stored. A first categorical model is generated. The first categorical model has a first geospatial dataset related to one of economic, agricultural and infrastructure information based on the historical observations. A navigation map is generated that displays the first categorical model across the geographical region. An existing market summary is generated that reflects first statistics related to existing markets. A proposed market summary is generated that reflects second statistics related to proposed future markets in regions of interest. Comparisons are generated that illustrate projected differences in existing market results with projected results in proposed future markets.
