Overview:

Spatial Agency helps local governments, local history networks & libraries, tourism organizations, and lake & recreation managers build powerful GIS solutions that connect people to place. Through our innovative Cultural Fabric program, we transform local heritage, cemetery, tourism, and aquatic-assets into interactive digital platforms powered by the ArcGIS platform. With deep expertise across ArcGIS Online, Pro, Enterprise, Hub, Experience Builder, Field Maps and 3D scene layers, we design and implement systems that organize records, engage the public, and sustain long-term community value. Our services span the full project lifecycle—from needs & requirements analysis and GIS strategy & planning to system architecture, database design, implementation and training. We build domain-specific data models and ensure seamless data conversion and migration from legacy or paper sources into modern geodatabases. Our custom application development includes immersive web and mobile mapping tools: for example, interactive lake bathymetry and fish-stocking/survey applications that integrate depth contours, habitat, and fishery-management data; and richly rendered 3D models of cities, cemeteries and cultural sites for planners and project stakeholders. We provide hosting, system integration (including third-party tools), business case development to secure funding, and training services to build internal capacity.
