‘Eye Over Easton’ resource live to provide local, state and federal data for residents

EASTON, Md. – The Town of Easton launching some new technology set out to give community members more access to what’s going on in the area.

The interactive map uses aerial images to visualize all kinds of information, including zoning, planning, and environmental data. It even allows you to see trash pick-up schedules. You can also see historic imagery. The map also is free with data collected from the local, state, and federal levels, all on one platform.

The Town hopes this will give residents a view of Easton through a new lens. “It gives community members easy access to data that traditionally you’d have to come into the office, or call us to get information or go to different websites, since we’re using state data, federal and local data it puts it all in one place where homeowners can get whatever information they’d like to,” says Nicholas Johnson, a Planner for the Town of Easton.

One example where the tool is already in use is the rails to trails extensions. On the map, you can see the path it will take along with different environmental features.
