GeoDecisions Completes GIS Application for Hanover County
May 30, 2006/Harrisburg, Pa.: GeoDecisions, an award-winning leader in the information technology industry, recently completed the Community Development and Natural Resources (CDNR) application for Hanover County, Va.
GeoDecisions created the Hanover County CDNR application to give county residents and building and planning officials the ability to access geographic information system (GIS) data from their desktops. Users can now easily access data layers, including parcels, zoning, soils, shrinks, swells, topography, trees, fences, and buildings. The interface provides users with the ability to add additional layers, such as street names, water features, roads, parcels, and taxing boundaries, for more detailed analysis and mapping.
The CDNR application includes assessment data and search fields for a subdivision name, tax parcel number, mailing address, and property address. Once queried, the information is displayed so that users can efficiently map the selected parcel in PDF format. Users also have the ability to print the selected parcels to maintain a hard copy record of the feature. If desired, users can export the map directly into an Adobe Acrobat Reader document for later use.
Available online, the county data can be accessed at: www.co.hanover.va.us/planning/gismap-CD.htm. This Web site provides users with a “tool-tip”-like function to search soil classifications and shrink and swell severities, in addition to viewing maps and GIS data linked to tax parcel information.
