Emi Randall, Director of Planning and Trisha Brush, GIS Director, Kenton County, Planning & Development Services (PDS)
LINK-GIS and Planning and Development Services (PDS) of Kenton County, Kentucky showcase a modern, collaborative approach to GIS and planning workflows.
This session will highlight how GIS is integrated into numerous planning tasks to generate timely, focused analysis to inform local decision makers and ignite discussions on important current and long-range planning initiatives. These initiatives are enriched by harnessing the power of dynamic web maps and other multimedia content to tell PDS’s story to the public, and also to receive feedback from the public. This creates a greater sense of transparency and accountability in both departments to the public and administration.
The Web GIS pattern is used extensively across initiatives from Direction 2030 (PDS’ Comprehensive Plan for Kenton County) to measuring solar potential, to analyzing urban tree canopy, to assessing walkability and sidewalk connectivity throughout the county. Engaging planning personnel and leadership is a constant goal of LINK-GIS, so that PDS can leverage their subject matter expertise with the right information product.
