Business Problem To improve the quality of life for the 14 municipalities in the Meadowlands District, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission/ Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute GIS have created an interactive mapping application that will allow the municipalities to access critical GIS layers. The mapping application is an interactive map that gives the user the ability to pull critical information about a specific property. For example, information includes ownership data, location of infrastructure and their attributes. The outreach program currently has thee working prototypes. They include the following municipalities: Town of Secaucus, Hudson County, New Jersey; Borough of Carlstadt, Bergen County, New Jersey; and Town of Kearny, Hudson County, New Jersey. Technology Implemented Technology used to build the enterprise GIS solution includes ArcIMS and ArcSDE, with Oracle 8.i to give the municipalities’ access to critical geodatabase layers. Other software includes ArcGIS ArcMap/ ArcView 8.x that will be provided to the municipalities. These programs will give the municipalities the ability to access and connect to a central database located in the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute GIS.
