COLUMBUS, Ind. – Bartholomew County announced Thursday that its Geographic Information System (GIS), known as Elevate on the County’s website, will soon become Beacon with new features and processes.
Elevate, used by the County to display assessment and tax information for many years, was purchased by Schneider Geospatial. “The new Beacon GIS is a combination of the best features of both systems,” said County Assessor Ginny Whipple, “and is fairly simple to use.”
The system goes live on April 10. Training for the public on the new system will be held that day at the Bartholomew County Government Building, 440 Third Street. Three sessions of the same training are scheduled for 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 2 p.m. The training will last approximately one hour with time for questions.
Space is limited, so reservations are encouraged. Email Assessor@Bartholomew.in.gov with the session time you would like to attend, or call the County Assessor’s office at 812-379-1505, and press 5.
