City Launches Newest Online Interactive Mapping Program

Citizens can now view projects taking place near their homes and businesses

GREENVILLE, SC – December 7, 2010 – The City of Greenville launched a Google maps-style viewer last week that shows current capital improvement projects within the city limits. The viewer was developed by the City’s Geographic Information Systems Division and overlays site-specific and area-based projects on the map, with the ability to search for particular types of projects. A link from each project provides the user with access to more detailed information from the City’s 2011 – 2015 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

The CIP addresses many of the City’s long-term needs, while balancing those needs with available revenues. All projects funded through the CIP directly support the City’s strategic goals and Comprehensive Plan principles and continue the City’s commitment to promoting safe, vibrant communities. The new CIP viewer gives citizens and business owners the ability to “see” the CIP projects and to gain a better understanding of the investments the City is making to preserve and enhance the high quality of life valued by this community

The viewer is accessible from the front page of the City’s web site or directly at http://www.greenvillesc.gov/GIS/CIPMap/index.htm.
