Public Information Portals – Lewis and Clark County Joint Infrastructure Study

For this project, Great West created an interactive project portal using ArcGIS Online and Story Maps. The portal served as a hub for residents to access project details, draft documents, contact information, and a public engagement map. Community members could also provide input by dropping geographic points with infrastructure concerns directly on the map, along with submitting surveys and comments. All feedback was captured and stored in the system, creating a rich, location-based dataset for decision-makers.

Crowdsourcing Public Input – Broadwater County Parks Master Plan

In collaboration with Broadwater County, Great West helped develop and share conceptual park designs for future county parcels using Story Maps. Embedded Survey123 forms allowed residents to submit feedback on each property’s design, with over 300 residents participating. This kind of digital engagement not only gathered valuable insights, but also gave the community a voice in shaping its own recreational spaces.

Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment – White Sulphur Springs Housing Survey

Working with the Meagher County Stewardship Council, Great West collected housing and structural condition data throughout White Sulphur Springs. Using Survey123, staff and volunteers were able to document residential structures in the field. That data was visualized in real time using ArcGIS Experience Builder, allowing the project team to monitor progress and results collaboratively. The tool, customized for internal use, will soon be available for public viewing—adding transparency and value to the community housing conversation.
