Technical Services Department:
GIS, Data and Mapping

Welcome to the Technical Services web pages of the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments. The Technical Services Department performs a variety of GIS, mapping, training, data, census, addressing, custom site analysis, Web-enabled GIS mapping and web development services for our members, non-profit agencies and private consulting companies. Additionally, we create and maintain a variety of reports and statistics in direct support of the MWVCOG programs.

The Technical Services Department has a decade of GIS-based, CADD-based and Census data warehoused on site. As part of our programmatic functions and past projects we have collected and maintain a variety of data including address listings, land use, zoning, population, employment, building permit activity, census data and natural resources inventories. We also have available a commercial grade consumer and business demographic data set for custom marketing or demographic analysis.

A geographic pofile of the SKATS Region is presented in the Transportation Disadvantaged Populations in the SKATS Region - A Geographic Profile (2000) report.
