BEAUFORT, S.C. (Aug. 26, 2024) – The City of Beaufort is proud to unveil two new website pages that will give our citizens easy access to information about the City and its capital projects.
The City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) page, www.cityofbeaufort.org/728/Geographic-Information-System, offers data and analysis based on the GIS mapping system, commonly used by governments and other entities. The GIS Gallery of maps includes, first and foremost, the Beaufort City Map, which has a number of layers to it, each providing a different level of information. Layers are accessed on the top right of any map, with the icon that shows 3 layers.
Other maps, which are snapshots of the City Map, include City Parks, Future Land Use, Zoning, Historic District, Polling Locations, Capital Projects, and Printable Maps. One map, Am I in the City?, will allow you to see if you live within the City, or in unincorporated Beaufort County.
The City’s GIS is managed by GIS Analyst Justin Juraidini, who will be adding new maps to the gallery.
“Our GIS analyst, Justin Juraidini, has done a tremendous job of helping us improve citizens' accessibility to public information,” City Manager Scott Marshall said. “We are excited about the new tools that are available on the City's website, but stay tuned. There is much more to come with our public-facing GIS tools and products.”
The City’s Capital Improvement Program, which is under the purview of Assistant City Manager JJ Sauve, can be found on our website, www.cityofbeaufort.org/269/Capital-Improvement-Program. An icon on that page, Capital Projects, will take you to a real-time application that visually depicts each capital project, and includes a project description, status, monitoring of construction, expected closeout date, and the budgeted cost.
This is a very user-friendly way to keep track of the City’s capital projects, especially ones that are pertinent to specific neighborhoods.
