Columbus, Ohio, "My Neighborhood" e-gov portal goes on line

FRANKFORT, Ky, May 1, 2003—Columbus, Ohio, residents can use a new interactive mapping tool to find out about city services and facilities, now that PlanGraphics, Inc. (OTCBB PGRA), has launched the first phase of the "My Neighborhood" Internet portal. PlanGraphics developed the application working with the city's Department of Technology.

The application is accessible at http://gis.columbus.gov/myn/MN_Welcome.asp. Users need no special software, only Internet access and a standard Web browser.

"This shows that the Columbus GIS is now delivering products at the enterprise level," said Wade Wilson, a PlanGraphics senior analyst who is stationed on-site in Columbus.

The initial release of "My Neighborhood" provides information about the following:

Public health (hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers)
Safety (fire, police)
Parks and recreation (parks, community centers, senior centers), and
Elected officials.

Additional enhancements will be added to the application in the future, positioning it to support the city's 311 program, providing information that spans city departments.
