Abstract

Improving Access to Development Data in Calvert County, Maryland
Track: Urban and Regional Planning
Authors: Erick Pate

Calvert County needed a better way to inform citizens about the status of various construction projects. The existing application for this purpose fell short with regard to usability and quality. The enterprise GIS team was able to provide a map-centric application that allows for easy lookup of any permit, subdivision or site plan application. This mobile friendly application reaffirms the County Government’s commitment to transparency and to maintaining a business friendly environment.
