OVRDC is
a regional repository of
GIS
data and shares data with communities.
OVRDC will also continue to upgrade its
GIS
system, obtaining and maintaining current
GIS
data on the region and promoting the availability of data. Finally, OVRDC will
continue to update flood mapping and other data in the
GIS
system from state, federal, and local sources.

OVRDC will continue to expand its
GIS system by offering web-based
GIS to local villages and townships.
