Many cities and villages in the five-county Bi-State region depend
on Bi-State’s Mapping services to keep their base, zoning, water or sewer
system maps up-to-date. Bi-State staff can also access geo-data from many of the
county-wide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through data sharing agreements.
Minor or routine updates are provided as part of membership services, but more
extensive updates will be provided to members on an "at cost", contractual
basis.
The Data/Graphics/Mapping Center also distributes various local
and regional maps, which are available to the public at minimal cost. |
