Luzerne County, PA selects GeoComm for countywide addressing project
St. Cloud, MN – Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, after an RFP process and on-site vendor interviews, partnered with GeoComm to cleanup and finish the 9-1-1 addressing for the county. Luzerne County has different portions of the county at various stages of addressing development from 98 percent finished to not started. GeoComm is verifying and collecting addresses in 11 municipalities or areas where there are known addressing issues or address need to be converted from rural route addressing to locatable physical addresses. We are verifying addresses in the remaining 67 townships, boroughs, or cities.
GeoComm will dedicate nine on-site personnel in Luzerne County to conduct GPS point collection fieldwork over an intense six month time frame. The data will then be processed, workflows for maintenance designed, and the data will be handed over to Luzerne County under an aggressively planned schedule. The county plans to have completed 9-1-1 data for the entire county by the beginning of 2010.
