Council approves GIS dashboard procurement to publish interactive town data

The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 49‑26 authorizing procurement of a ForStat/GFT GIS dashboard to present interactive maps of roads, traffic repairs, utilities and other public data. Town Administrator Jackson and the vendor described the platform’s ability to pull existing datasets and show front‑facing tools such as snowplow GPS feeds and ward lookup by address; the project will include staff training and an expectation that a newly hired strategic planning/program coordinator will take primary responsibility for ongoing updates.
