PlanGraphics completes GIS planning project for the Oldham Geographic Information Consortium

FRANKFORT, Ky., April 21, 2003—PlanGraphics, Inc. (OTCBB PGRA), has completed a geographic information system (GIS) implementation plan for the Oldham Geographic Information Consortium (OGIC) in Oldham County, Kentucky.

The six-member Consortium includes two representatives from Oldham County and one representative each from the City of LaGrange, the LaGrange Utilities Commission, the Oldham County Water District, and the Oldham County Property Valuation Administrator (PVA). The Consortium was established in 2002, and one of its top priorities was to prepare a plan for building a countywide GIS. Oldham County is northeast of Louisville, and it is one of the Commonwealth's fastest growing counties.

The goal of the implementation plan is to bring existing and newly created information and agency capabilities together to create a collaborative GIS within the County. The implementation plan provides short- and intermediate-term strategies for the following:

  • Hardware, software and network communications improvements
  • Conceptual data architecture and design
  • Data conversion and enhancements of existing GIS data
  • Procedures and standards for data creation, enhancement and maintenance
  • Development of high-priority applications
  • Funding, staffing and organizational management.

PlanGraphics previously completed a GIS needs assessment for the Consortium.
