To assist the Warren County Tourism Department with spatial and attribute queries to find suitable meeting facilities in the county.
Forms in MS Access were designed for easy data entry. When all the data was completed, and missing information obtained (e.g., physical address, number of guestrooms for facilities with lodging), the tables were exported to DBASE format.
In ArcInfo ArcCatalog 9.1, the first table containing the facility contact information was geocoded using the Warren County Street Centerline layer as the address reference layer. Batch matching was conducted first, followed by interactive geocoding with all matches with less than a 60% match score or unmatched.
The point layer resulting from geocoding was added to an ArcInfo ArcMap 9.1 basemap document containing parcel boundaries with assciated RPS, street centerlines, and aerial photography series (2004 and 2001). Each facility location was checked for accuracy, cross-referencing with these data. In some cases, the facility was contacted by phone to further clarify the location. In ALL cases, the point feature was moved from the raw geocoded location to the actual building (or central location for large complexes like ranches) as visible on the aerial photography.

The physical address and number of guestrooms, if not explicitly specified in the Handbook, was verified by a direct telephone call to the facility. All text included in the Handbook for each facility was also incorporated into this data set.
Each facility point was positioned by cross-referencing multiple sources - aerial photography (2004, 2001 series), tax parcel boundaries with RPS, facility website, and direct phone calls to the facility (as needed for clarification).
This data set includes all faciltiies listed in the Warren County Tourism Department's hardcopy Convention and Meeting Handbook.
