| Project Scope:
The Town of Hanna, Wyoming desired
to establish a geographical information system (GIS) to improve
municipal administration, utility management, the administration
of municipal zoning, as well as enhance the planning of future
municipal improvements. The Town of Hanna retained the services
of PPC to establish a GIS and provide ArcView GIS software.
PPC initially collected spatial
utility data for water and sewer systems from local engineering
organizations in Carbon County. Tabular data associated with
land ownership was obtained by the Wyoming Department of Revenue
and the Carbon County Assessor's Office. Zoning information was
derived from available hardcopy maps already developed by the
Town of Hanna.
Following the conversion and
projection of available spatial data, PPC established a new base
map of the Town and merged spatial data with a new land use
database developed by PPC. Information contained in the new
land use database was checked and supplemented by new
information gained through PPC's performance of a window survey
of all land parcels in the Town of Hanna. Spatial utility data
was coordinated with the Town of Hanna's City Engineer to ensure
the accuracy of water transmission and sewer collection lines
within Hanna.
PPC ultimately loaded the new GIS
and ArcView GIS software, and provided some initial training
concerning application of the software to Town of Hanna staff.
