Open Data

The GIS Department has now created an Open Data Site for the free distribution of GIS Data. This site allows you to search for layers by key words or by themes. You can download the data in Excel spreadsheet format, or via ArcGIS Shapefile format. You can also filter the selection prior to downloading the data. Additionally, we have links to our public facing Mapping websites and story boards.
