About Our Program

The City of Midland GIS Program

The City of Midland began its GIS program in 2005 with an emphasis on utilities, specifically wastewater data, to be used for sewer modeling. The City of Midland completed a 3 year phased, enterprise-wide GIS implementation plan to serve all City departments. The 1st year focused on base map data development, the 2nd year focused on sharing the information within our organization, and the 3rd year focused on sharing the information with the public.

GIS Staff

Located within the Information Services Department, the GIS staff consists of a GIS Coordinator, hired in the spring of 2006, to oversee the program and a GIS Intern who assists with the overall maintenance of the program. GIS staff are responsible for the development and maintenance of numerous layers of geographic information, the maintenance of custom GIS applications, providing technical assistance for all GIS-related projects, and continuously providing GIS education and training for staff. More information about what we are doing is available at GIS Projects
