The Delaware County Office of Data and Mapping Innovation (ODMI) is a department dedicated to utilizing advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to help government officials and residents visualize complex issues and make informed decisions. The primary mission of ODMI is to create and maintain geospatial data—including infrastructure, environmental, boundary, and community data. This data is then transformed into static maps and mapping applications, which are accessible to the community. ODMI supports county departments with mapping services to enhance their workflows and public engagement. It collaborates with local governments and private entities to provide valuable data and insights, and offers public access to a wealth of geographic data through an open data site, making it easier for people to explore and utilize this information. ODMI recently launched a new web-based “Open Data Hub” that allows users to explore map applications and data by category, such as Historic & Natural Resources, Transportation, Demographics, County & Municipal Services, and Land Development & Zoning. The new Hub also includes a survey for users to provide feedback regarding the maps presented online. The county also has a municipal dashboard.
