GIS Database

Upper Albany Main Street has developed a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Database to facilitate large-scale economic development in the Upper Albany commercial district. The GIS system is a powerful collection of interactive maps and information designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information in the Upper Albany district. Currently, the searchable GIS Database can provide custom reporting information that may assist in the development of a comprehensive market analysis and influence redevelopment plans in Upper Albany. Upper Albany Main Street is currently working on making this information accessible online.
