North Reading's GIS history
North Reading's GIS began in 1992 when the Planning and Assessing Departments received a grant to develop a GIS. The town's paper parcel maps were digitized, as were wetlands and zoning maps. In 1996 these two departments hired a consultant to serve as the GIS Coordinator. In 1999 that position became a permanent, half-time position serving all town departments. In the spring of 2003 aerial photography was flown for the town. Storm water GIS layers are currently being developed.
