Main output is a table '''tifallclean''' (in vcdb4), which has 666 records and name, startyear, endyear, geog, statecode, and source (i.e., whioch file it came from) fields. The very first build of these data was documented at the bottom of this page and in [[Jeemin Sim (Work Log)]]. ==Summary== Install ogr2ogr on mother: apt install gdal-bin There are 10 TIF shapefiles, which either have date date embedded or where date data is separately available. Of these, 8 are loaded from KML files with ogr2ogr: ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Chicago.kml -nln tifchicago ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Columbus.kml -nln tifcolumbus ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" WashingtonDC.kml -nln tifwashingtondc ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Houston.kml -nln tifhouston ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Vermont.kml -nln tifvermont ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Dublin.kml -nln tifdublin ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" Atlanta.kml -nln tifatlanta ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb4" AlleghenyCounty.kml -nln tifalleghenycounty Two are loaded with shp2pgsql, and in both cases the original data needs to be imported into ArcGIS and then exported in a standard projection as a first processing step.

Note that null dates are going to show up as year 0, which doesn't actually exist and is incorrect (try SELECT to_date('0', 'YYYY')) and again with -1. See https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/3762 and blame the pope. ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb3" Chicago.kml -nln tifchicago The table tifchicago corresponds to the XML below, except that it has some extra fields. The index field seems to be autogenerated, and tessellate, extrude and visibility are always -1,0, and -1 respectively. All other fields are blank, including description, timestamp, begin, and end (note that you can query end with "end" in postgres): SELECT ogc_fid, name, description, timestamp, begin, "end", altitudemode, tessellate, extrude, visibility, draworder, icon FROM tifchicago; The KML is an XML file with meta data (including an approval date, an expiration date, and a name, as well as some other values, some of which could be derived from the geometry) and then a set of points that describe the outer ring of a polygon: <Placemark> <styleUrl>#defaultStyle</styleUrl> <name>Northwest Industrial Corridor</name> <ExtendedData> <Data name="approval_d"><value>12/2/1998</value></Data> <Data name="comm_area"><value>19,20,23,25,26,27</value></Data> <Data name="expiration"><value>12/2/2021</value></Data> <Data name="ind"><value>Industrial</value></Data> <Data name="name_trim"><value>Northwest Industrial Corridor</value></Data> <Data name="objectid"><value>0</value></Data> <Data name="objectid_1"><value>107</value></Data> <Data name="ref"><value>T- 64</value></Data> <Data name="repealed_d"><value></value></Data> <Data name="sbif"><value>Y</value></Data> <Data name="shape_area"><value>51402231.0322</value></Data> <Data name="shape_leng"><value>80417.4828932</value></Data> <Data name="show"><value>1</value></Data> <Data name="type"><value>Existing</value></Data> <Data name="use"><value>Industrial</value></Data> <Data name="wards"><value>27,28,30,31,37</value></Data> </ExtendedData> <MultiGeometry> <Polygon> <outerBoundaryIs> <LinearRing> <coordinates> -87.74541914577178,41.92534327389125 -87.74541599224814,41.92516215074396 </coordinates> </LinearRing> </outerBoundaryIs> </Polygon> </MultiGeometry> </Placemark> The ind variable might be useful if they are sufficiently systematic across jurisdictions.

URL in each record is out of date but just points to https://www.columbus.gov/development/economic-development/. Records '''have PASSAGE dates''' but no end dates.

There's useful information here: https://cfo.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ocfo/publication/attachments/tx_tif_chapter_2020j.pdfIt should also be noted that firms located in the DC Ballpark TIF area are specifically excluded from being Qualified High Technology Companies[https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/otr/publication/attachments/48605_FR-399_22416.pdf].

====St. Louis, MIMO====
St. Louis has data but without GIS shapes. The data is here: http://www.bettertogetherstl.com/studies/economic-development/tif-database . It was apparently extracted from a 2015 report here: http://dor.mo.gov/pdf/2015TIFAnnualReport.pdf .

Also Empowerment Zones. https://www.opendataphilly.org/dataset/empowerment-zones
====Larimer County====
