MPS has been assisting the Town of Jamestown in a multi-year GIS implementation project, primarily through the Planning Department.

In 1999, MPS automated parcel maps in the Jamestown Shores area

to support the Town’s Wastewater Management Plan and as a demonstration project for the capabilities of GIS parcel mapping.

The following year, MPS was selected by the Town to prepare all mapping for the Jamestown Comprehensive Community Plan 2002

(see www.jamestownri.com). This involved automating several data sources, updating existing sewer and water datasets, designing, developing and implementing a low-cost ArcView-based GIS system

for the Planning Department and conducting GIS training.

In 2003 MPS was engaged to prepare the Town’s Official Zoning Map in a variety of digital and hardcopy formats, as well GIS analyses in support of the Town Highway Barn Siting and the Village Parking Study.

MPS presently provides as-needed general GIS consulting, including hardware and software support, data development and limited maintenance, spatial analyses and GIS mapping support for several municipal departments.

In 2004/2005 the Town plans to develop town-wide GIS parcel mapping and implement an ArcGIS system for harbor management and mooring enforcement purposes.
