The mission of Cobb County's Geographic Information System is to
create, operate, and maintain an efficient, cost-effective geographic
information system through the use of specialized computer, mapping and
digital aerial photography technologies in support of the Board of
Commissioners, elected officials, and county departments. Cobb's GIS
will collaborate with other government and non-government entities to
provide responsive and useful location-based services to customers.
In simple terms, the GIS staff is tasked to create a comprehensive and
accurate digital computer map of the county. This digital computer map
will contain technical and business information about locations and
events within the county that will have value to many potential
customers. The data contained in the GIS are to be accessed by the
county user departments and eventually by other GIS partners and
customers.
