Interactives/Workshop Activities

Interactive City-owned property Map Assessment

INteractive City-Owned Property Map

Use the link above to the mapping tool to suggest individual City-owned properties for specific food system-related uses!

The map highlights City parks and community facilities as well as vacant properties owned by the City.  Zoom in/pan or enter an address to find the property, click on the round green Editor tool at the top left of the map, and drop a pin in the property.  Choose from possible uses in the drop-down menu, or select “other” to name a use not on the list.  (Your name, email address, and comments will NOT be visible to the public – only pins and labels will display publicly on the map)
