Data
Data is provided by Grand Valley Metropolitan Council's REGIS, or Regional Geographic Information System. REGIS provides a common database, infrastructure, and suite of applications used for spatial data management by our members. To facilitate a more informed decision making process, twenty cities, townships, and quasi-governmental organizations have joined together to develop REGIS, one of the largest local government multi-participant Geographic Information System (GIS) projects.
Note: Create dataset for project and link it here.
