Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Objectives
The mission of the GIS Department is to build on an established foundation of geographic information to support county decision-making. The GIS Department will provide the technological vision and leadership to deploy appropriate spatial technologies that will contribute towards an enriched community. Hereby, we will reinvent, reengineer, and streamline government wherever spatial technology can contribute towards increased efficiencies, increased effectiveness, and reduced costs.
Goals
- Provide county departments with the data, tools, and training to leverage the county investment in a GIS. This objective encourages departments to maintain geographic information within their thematic disciplines.
- Assemble thematic data (elevation, land cover, soils, property boundaries, etc.) in a common geographic framework within a single data warehouse.
- Provide county geographic information to citizens via the Internet.
