Build a better normal
with GIS and the
American Rescue Plan

Use ARP funding to level up your GIS

The introduction of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 provides an unprecedented opportunity for innovation across the public sector, empowering governments to invest in a variety of ways to benefit their communities in the wake of COVID-19.

While the pandemic has posed many challenges, GIS and IT teams have experienced a tricky dilemma – at the same time as the need for improved location intelligence and digital services skyrocketed, many GIS and development projects were sidelined as resources were focused on other urgent response efforts.

Mapping and geospatial technology is an approved use of ARP funding, making now an excellent time to invest in your community’s GIS and ensure citizens have access to the information and digital services they need.

What makes GIS a smart use of my ARP funding?

Better Support for Citizen Services

GIS supports a variety of services delivered by local governments, from land management and property assessment to utility services and even emergency management and pandemic recovery. Improving your GIS improves all related services!

Improved Analysis and Communication

GIS provides crucial location intelligence that supports local governments’ ability to analyze and understand their communities. Visualize your community’s strengths and weaknesses and share information between departments or with citizens.

Data-driven Decision Making

Take the guesswork out of economic and urban planning, and identify trends across your jurisdiction. Governments use GIS to build a community that makes sense for everyone.

Ready to take GIS into the future?

GIS has been identified as one of the key drivers in supporting economic recovery in the United States (check out this recent article by NACO for more info). The time is now to invest in your GIS and build the digital community your citizens need.
