  1. Addressing Adds UpDr. Tim De Troye, GISPGIS Coordinator, South Carolina

  2. Do the Math 0+0 = 1??? $0 Budget + 0 Additional Positions = 1 State Address Points Layer With no budget and no additional positions – how can you do this?

  3. Leverage Relationships • Build partnerships with local government • Takes time, but it’s worth it’s weight in gold • Much less expensive to spend time building relationships than to recreate/purchase data

  4. How Do You Get Them To Say Yes • Communicate in language decision makers understand: happy citizens = happy voters • Provide concrete examples on how the data will be used

  5. Who Does the Work? • Counties create address points • State GIS Coordinator builds/maintains relationships and acquires updates

  6. Who Does the Work? • Dept. of Health and Environmental Control processes the data – find a group where it will serve their core business needs • Data made available to state agencies needing it

  7. Getting the Data • Ask nicely, ask often … but not too often • Recognize data sharing by the county is doing you a favor • Always say thank you, even if the file is incomplete or corrupt

  8. Getting the Data • Never ask the county to do anything more than absolutely necessary – e.g. just email me the file • Field structure, merging data – automate with • ESRI’s Data Interoperability extension • Model Builder

  9. First Time Acquisition • Examine data – many different “flavors” of address points: • GPS on doorstep or mailbox • Photo revised points • Automatically generated points along roads • Parcel centroids • Various field structures

  10. Time Involved • First time – examine data, set up automated tools to process address points – several hours per county • Data refresh – straight forward – repair field structure if necessary and run automated tools – as fast at ten minutes

  11. Follow Up • Provide feedback to counties – never critical • Get updates and process • Provide lists of uses and agencies using their data

  12. Next Steps • Set up data replication for counties with ArcGIS server (and willing IT departments) • Set up Microsoft Scheduler with “zip and ship” scripts for other counties – automate update process for data acquisition

  13. Next Steps • Set up data replication across state agencies • Assist counties with no address points, as time becomes available • Publicize when assistance is given to the counties and “victories” of data use News Flash: State and Locals Working Together
