GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The Village of Orland Park and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrates hardware, software and data for capturing, managing, analyzing and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

GIS Uses Over 85 percent of decisions in municipal government involve location. In one way or another, every department relies on geography to support its day-to- day operations. GIS helps answer questions and solve problems by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. Choosing sites, targeting market segments, responding to emergencies, or redrawing boundaries are all problems involving questions of geography.

GIS Maps include: • A vailable sites and buildings for business development • Bike Maps • 2 015 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Map • C omprehensive Plan Maps • L arge Subdivision Map • V illage of Orland Park Street Map • Zoning Maps
