Outstanding Internet GIS Application at the 2000 ESRI User Conference for its Voter Connection tool that provides information on polling locations and contacts for elected officials via the Internet.

Special Achievement in GIS at the 1998 ESRI User Conference in recognition of the efforts of the partnership in using GIS to meet local needs.

AM/FM International Excellence Award in 1996. This award recognizes user organizations for outstanding application of AM/FM GIS technology. LOJIC competed against seven other community and utility GIS installations from the United Stated and Canada.

E911 and CAD Support has been a major focus for LOJIC and local emergency services staff over the past two years. All spatial data necessary for local E911 response, including emergency service (Police/Fire/EMS) districts, addresses (sites and ranges), transportation networks and political jurisdictions are automatically derived from and maintained on the LOJIC GIS. All digital map data used as reference and on-screen display in the local CAD system originates from the LOJIC GIS.

Response to the March 1997 flood was largely coordinated through the use of information and resources from the LOJIC GIS. Over 3,000 sets of maps were generated from LOJIC over the two weeks immediately following the flood for a wide range of uses by local stormwater management teams, emergency response agencies, public works, elected officials, local news media and many other local/state/federal agencies. The LOJIC GIS was used to provide maps and data necessary for evacuation efforts, damage assessments, rainfall/flood modeling and monitoring ongoing public requests for assistance during the flood emergency. The capabilities of the LOJIC GIS were severely tested and demonstrated during the flood emergency, but the system drew praise as an invaluable resource from all.

The Brownfields Inventory Project is an ArcView application based on an inventory of more than 20,000 properties in the urban core of Louisville. The application was developed at the direction of the Mayor for use by his staff, economic development officials, and the general public and neighborhood organizations. The inventory helps target sites for redevelopment, which may have a history of environmental contamination. The project won the 1995 American City and County Award of Merit for Information Systems.

The Address Coding Guide for Municipalities was created for use by insurance companies in conjunction with the 96 municipalities within Jefferson County in order to verify the location of properties and the distribution of revenues. The Guide is also used by municipal governments as an accurate source of verifying addresses within their boundaries in order to improve service delivery.

Having a wealth of geographic data available from a PC in an office or at home via the Internet allows for some very powerful, effective spatial analysis and map production. There are situations when sets of hardcopy maps are just as effective and easier to use. In 1999, LOJIC users from LWC, EMA, City/County Public Works and MSD collaborated on the design and publication of its first LOJIC Street Atlas. The Atlas includes up to date street maps, parks, hospitals, schools, government facilities, police/fire districts and other points of interest in Jefferson County. It also includes a detailed street-to-map reference. The Atlas was first produced to meet the in-house needs of LOJIC user agencies, but may prove to be a valuable resource for businesses and the public. The 2002 atlas includes even more information.

The Red Book Property Atlas is a 2000 page atlas of current graphic property data. This product, produced jointly by the PVA and LOJIC staff has been sold to nearly 150 users throughout Jefferson County and the nation. The atlas is updated once a year, through an application which automatically generates new 11"x17" standard maps of map sheets.
