CITY OF STOW GIS (Geographic Information System)

GIS is commonly referred to as "Computer Mapping," and although rapid & efficient map production is ONE important aspect, GIS can also be thought of as a Data Management System that "happens to be map-able." Within GIS, an unlimited amount of information can be tied to map features, allowing map & non-map data queries.

Within GIS, map / data components are separated into "layers." The City's primary GIS data layers consist of manmade features such as building footprints, property parcels, street centerlines, stormwater infrastructure, & zoning, as well as natural features such as elevation contours, streams, wetlands, FEMA flood zones & soils. Secondary layers include sidewalks, bike trails, cell towers, council wards, etc. These data layers (some 40+ ) are also complemented by the use of aerial photos within the City GIS.

GIS enables information previously scattered and available to only a few individuals to be consolidated, centralized, and quickly accessed city-wide by staff in Departments such as Planning, Zoning, Engineering, Service, Water, Street, Urban Forestry, Police, Fire, and Parks & Recreation.

Although many cities in Northeastern Ohio offer online GIS services, the City of Stow does not believe that these services are presently cost-effective. Additionally, Summit County offers GIS online and for the City of Stow to do so would be an unnecessary and costly duplication of services.
