Buffalo Public Works Crews Get GIS Equipment

Buffalo Building Inspector/Planner Terry Asay recently updated the city council on where the Geographic Information System (GIS) project currently sits.

Asay explained earlier this year that the city had planned a three-phase (GIS) project.

In July of 2022 the council approved a contract with Interstate Engineering of Sheridan to complete Phase One of GIS for the city that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data that will gather all of the city’s current GIS information to see what the city has and doesn’t have to set up a city layer of the county’s mapserver.

Phase Two collected available data that was not part of the server to add to it, and Phase Three is where the city purchases GIS equipment for city works crews to use long-term for minor fixes, repairs, water main breaks, and entering them as part of the information within the system.
