     The Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Program supports data-driven planning, collaboration, and decision-making across Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. Our GIS services provide communities, agencies, and organizations with accurate spatial data, mapping tools, and technical expertise to strengthen infrastructure planning, environmental stewardship, and regional development initiatives.
From interactive web maps to data analysis and training support, Southern Tier West’s GIS Program helps local governments and partners use geospatial technology to make informed choices and achieve long-term sustainability goals. By integrating regional datasets and advancing public access to critical information, we work to build a more connected and resilient Southern Tier.
