Local GIS Tidbits
Snyder County [PA] saved more than $40,000 last year by replacing two employees with a GIS company contract, and the commissioners are looking to continue those savings in 2011. They approved on Tuesday a $56,000 contract with GIS Tech Solutions Inc. to provide on-site GIS support services to the county.
"If you’ll notice, the Town of Wellesley’s website has a new interface and new features. Brian DuPont, GIS manager for the town of Wellesley, designed the site and presented it to the Board of Selectmen at the same Monday meeting." It's very nice. I wonder how many GIS managers could layout a website?
Soon four of the five incorporated villages in Meigs County [Ohio] will have portions of its infrastructure digitally mapped as part of the new community based Geographic Information System (GIS) program offered by Buckeye Hills. Racine was the first community to participate in the program and received the services free of charge in exchange for being a “test community” — these “test communities” were a sort of template for the program, including the Village of Syracuse. The Villages of Pomeroy and Middleport have recently signed up for the GIS services though there is now a fee involved for the program — $2,000 plus $500 a year to maintain the service. What is mapped is up to the villages and could be anything from water lines, to storm sewers, to gas lines, to water meters, etc.
