Moore County GIS Wins The G. Herbert Stout Award

February 2013

 

Moore County GIS Department and Randy Gould, Public Works Director, was honored with the G. Herbert Stout Award at the 2013 NCGIS Conference on February 7 in Raleigh, NC.  The “Herb Stout Award” honors local government for exemplary use of GIS.  The awards committee presents three awards to: (1) city or town government; (2) county government; and (3) regional or local/regional authority.  The GIS Department won the Herb Stout Award for use of GIS with the Hydraulic Distribution Water Modeling within a county government.

The Moore County GIS department feels it chosen out of a long list of candidates because the hydraulic distribution water model project strengthened the GIS enterprise and enhanced effective communication between departments.  Randy Gould came into Moore County and brought great knowledge and excitement for the hydraulic distribution water modeling, that helped the GIS and Public Utilities Departments take it to that next level.  The GIS department also feels this award is great recognition for the level of work they have been maintaining over the years under the leadership of Chris Koltyk.  Former winners of this award include: Mecklenburg, Wake, Johnston and Buncombe County.  Moore County feels like they are in a very distinguished list of GIS Professionals.

The Herb Stout Award committee also came down to the Board of Commissioners meeting to honor the GIS Department on February 19, 2013.
