"Roanoke County partnered with GISinc to extend its web presence by enhancing the Esri Local Government templates. First, we took the Esri Basic Viewer template and created PoliceView and Mountain Valley Pipeline Viewer to engage the community,” David Wray, GIS Manager, Roanoke County.
PoliceView provides citizens the ability to search for police activity surrounding a location. Mountain Valley Pipeline Viewer was developed to support the County Administration the ability to review the potential benefits of the pipeline as well as potential impacts to citizens, businesses, and natural resources with the County.
“Second, we extended Esri's Site Selector to promote Economic Development in the Roanoke Valley. Our partnership with GISinc continues to grow as well as the benefits to the citizens of Roanoke County,” Wray said.
Site Selector helps business owners and corporations search for and locate available buildings and sites, while combining their property search with key community and demographic information.
“This last Esri User’s Conference marked the four-year anniversary of the Roanoke County, Virginia, and GISinc partnership. During the conference, we took a little time to reflect on all of the accomplishments, accolades and progress they have made with GIS.
