ESRI and Trimble Announce the Launch of the 2006 Mobile Government Grant Program: Coastal Communitie
Written by ESRI
Tuesday, 28 March 2006
Redlands, California—ESRI, the leading developer of geographic information system (GIS) software and spatial solutions for local government, and Trimble, a leading innovator of global positioning system (GPS) technology, announce the launch of the 2006 ESRI and Trimble Mobile Government Grant Program: Coastal Communities.
Totaling more than $96,000, the ESRI and Trimble software, hardware, and training grants will be awarded to a total of 10 state, regional, and local governments within the United States. The grant program is open to all disciplines engaged in activities that serve coastal communities. Both ESRI and Trimble recognize the need to support those government agencies whose work efforts must consider the distinctive issues that coastal government must address in dealing with development, delivering public services, and developing sound environmental and conservation policies.
The grant program has been established with two goals in mind. The first objective is to provide assistance to state, regional, and local government agencies in establishing 10 models that demonstrate concepts related to the development and implementation of innovative GIS and GPS applications aimed at improving government processes. The second objective is to provide reusable applications that can be shared between governments with similar projects via ESRI's public domain Web site.
The ESRI and Trimble Mobile Government Grant Program is a vehicle that provides additional applications specific to mobile government. Applications developed by the grant recipients will be posted on the ESRI public domain Web site beginning in November 2006. Government agencies can visit this Web site to download applications that have been posted throughout the past year and exchange ideas on issues that affect their communities, helping them better serve the public. Through this grant program and the ArcPad public domain Web site, governments can continue to meet their objectives via the open exchange of ideas and shared resources.
