Mission Statement

Our mission is to facilitate sustainable policy and practices for the enhancement of communities, government, and natural resources by providing custom,
affordable GIS services and solutions.

Goals

  • To provide the geospatial expertise that will assist communities and natural resources organizations in achieving their goals of organizational and environmental sustainability and meeting governmental mandates.

  • To facilitate more extensive use of GIS among local governments and natural resources organizations where fiscal and technological constraints inhibit implementation of this organizational tool.

  • To develop partnerships and work with organizations that can enhance the effective functioning of communities’ economic, planning, natural resources, and infrastructure bases through the use of GIS.

My education and training has informed my understanding that small communities and their citizens take an economic beating in modern society. 

With a background in sociology, public policy, and natural resources, I believe that GIS is the perfect tool to help small communities and natural resource organizations thrive by alleviating the stress of keeping related information in disparate repositories where it may get buried and is often difficult to access. 

Increased accessibility to information has positive impacts on environmental, social, health, educational, and economic outcomes.  

Making a wide variety of information far more accessible to administrators, workers, and the public also facilitates a more targeted, inclusive, and thorough decision making process. 

GIS also helps level the economic playing field by bringing returns on investment well in excess of its cost for any organization using this tool. 
All we have to do is set it up and everyone can
get what they need by clicking on a map. 
We are all better off with GIS!
