This presentation will focus on how Linn County, Iowa, is using cross-departmental resources to develop its GIS using Esri software. With Linn County departmental enthusiasm toward GIS being high, County-wide standards for creating, maintaining, and sharing GIS data have been put into place to encourage departments to proceed with GIS activities. We will explain how the Linn County Engineering and GIS departments have worked together so data could be shared through our WAN, enabling engineering-specific data that works in conjunction with the developing basemap.
