Manage It My Way
City leaders are increasingly faced with mountains of information they need to make sense of. The City of
Greensburg was in that situation - officials needed convenient city-wide access to utility, zoning and street
information. In 2002, the City completed their first GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan.
Greensburg's newly established GIS Committee identified the need for:
- A high-quality, cost-sensitive system
- Development and maintenance of reliable data
- Timely data collection
- City staff to feel a sense of ownership of toward the GIS
- Centralized control of data
The Greensburg LANd and Asset ConnEction (GLANCE) was developed as a custom GIS application
accessing the City's central GIS database. Specific elements were designed to assist City
staff with critical activities like planning community growth, promoting economic development,
managing assets, producing utility map books, locating addresses, and preparing emergency responses.
