Title
Presentation of “New Braunfels at Work” web application and dashboard
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The fast growth of the City of New Braunfels necessitates the funding, execution and tracking of many projects over many years, including transportation, parks, utilities, etc. The tracking and reporting of these projects is a major component of transparency and accountability within the organization as well as to our citizens, business partners and visitors. This new web application and dashboard summarizes data from many different departments and projects in an attempt to put information out to the public in an easy to use and meaningful format. “New Braunfels at Work” summarizes costs, project descriptions, contact information, location, project timelines and funding sources all in one place. Utilizing GIS technology, users can visualize the types and location of the many projects the City has in progress or has completed over the last several years. Through the use of filters, users can search for and visualize projects by status, type, and Council District. The “New Braunfels at Work” web application and dashboard is a new way to tell the story of the growth of the City of New Braunfels, while putting some of the most requested information together in a new and easy to use application available to anyone at any time.
