The PTCOG regional planning and GIS program consists of three service areas: Regional Planning Services; Local Technical Assistance Planning Services; and Geographic Information System Services. Each program area is designed to provide timely, high quality, cost-efficient services to our member governments.

Regional Planning Services:
The PTCOG promotes regional cooperation among its local government members, coordinating planning activities among local, regional, state, and federal agencies. One important regional planning project just completed is the Regional Open Space Master Plan. This project included a GIS database of open space in the 12-county Piedmont Triad region.   Please click here to view a copy of the Regional Open Space Master Plan in .pdf format.  

Local Technical Assistance Planning Services:
The PTCOG provides local technical assistance services on a contract basis, to support a wide variety of planning activities. These services include facility and site planning; strategic planning; environmental planning, land use planning; and long-range comprehensive planning.  Please click here for more information on Local Technical Assistance at the PTCOG.  

          Recent Technical Assistance Projects:
          Eden Land Development Plan
          Trinity Land Development Plan and Trinity Land Development Plan Map
          Davidson County Parks and Recreation Tourism Development Master Plan
          The Haw River Riparian Corridor Conservation Plan

Geographic Information System (GIS) Services:
The PTCOG provides GIS services to its member governments, and to other public and private agencies, in support of local and regional planning efforts. PTCOG supplements its extensive library of regional GIS data through acquisition or development of local-scale data, and produces hard-copy maps at multiple scales, on a contract basis.
