GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (COHGIS)

GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information or data. The Department is currently developing an enterprise geospatial system for the City’s geographic information system (GIS). The long term goal is to create a regional GIS environment that supports the sharing of data, GIS services and application resources among city departments, area governments, utilities and related agencies.
