When Scott County, Iowa had a recent opportunity to secure grant funding to provide GIS data cleanup for NG9-1-1 they took full advantage and contract with Cloudpoint to compete this work. The project had a very tight time frame being completed in less than 60 days. This work involved cleanup of Emergency Service boundaries in the GIS, as well as repairing road centerline geometry, correcting road centerline address ranges, directional errors in digitize roadway directions, and reviewing site address data points that fell out of range with the centerlines. Cloudpoint was able to complete this cleanup work using tools including curves-to-lines in ArcGIS Pro, creating topologies, and using the 'Align To Shape' tool for aligning emergency services boundaries with road centerlines and administrative or political boundaries where applicable. Overall the project involved a over of 88,000 address points and more than 2,300 centerline miles. Cloudpoint continues to provide high quality GIS data services for state and local governments throughout the Midwest. For more information contact our office at 877-377-8124.
