City of Jackson TN goes live with Geopowered

Eric Edmonds — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:20:02 +0000

The City of Jackson, TN is the latest GEO-Jobe GIS Geopowered site to go live. This new site is part of a bigger project GEO-Jobe is involved in with Jackson to develop an Enterprise GIS. Utilizing ESRI ArcGIS server technology, several city agencies, including planning and police, will begin sharing data between eachother and with Madison County agencies, like the Assessor’s office. One of the big goals of this project is to reduce costs by eliminating data duplication. Many times cities and counties have data that could be shared, but are limited by connectivity or technology. GEO-Jobe is helping Jackson and Madison County remain current while making the best use of tax-payer dollars. With budgets being reduced in nearly every community in the US, using tax dollars wisely is at the forefront many city leaders minds.

Please visit the City of Jackson Geopowered site and take it for a spin.

Because Oak Ridge is in both Anderson and Roane counties, this move to centralize all relevant GIS data in one interactive location will descramble as well as expand access to GIS information.Oak Ridge covers 92 square miles in both of the aforementioned counties and has about 27,500 citizens. It has 210 miles of streets and a 2000 survey calculated at least 13,000 dwelling units. Oak Ridge has an active system of greenways (green spaces, greenbelts, etc.) and its 2004 strategic planning task force issued several initiatives to increase affordable housing and attract more families to the area. Realtors and city planners can both use the clickable maps at the city’s GEOpowered® website to obtain the GIS information they wish in a standard internet browser without having to go through another party or learn to use ArcGIS software.
