Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

The Village of Oswego began developing its Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology in early 2000. GIS and related-technologies help village staff manage new development and changes in our infrastructure and natural environment. Visitors may access village GIS data through Internet-based applications and traditional maps.

The goal of the GIS division is to broaden perception and incorporate a geographic perspective into existing workflows and business practices. Through the use of GIS technologies we strive to:

• Improve citizens' access to government
• Effectively manage assets and resources
• Ensure quality and effective decision making
• Improve data accuracy
• Automate workflows, improve production, and increase efficiency
