GDB Version: ArcGIS Pro 3.3Additional Resources:Statewide Parcel Dataset These tables are to be used in conjunction with the Virginia Parcel Dataset most recent download to receive additional attribution beyond Map Number and Parcel ID. They are joined to the Parcel geography using the VGIN_QPID attribute on the Parcel feature class and local schema table. Attributes differ from locality to locality and what is provided in the geodatabase is a tabular representation of the geospatial attributes provided from the jurisdiction to VGIN with bi-annual data calls. Locality tables have the last received and processed date appended to the table name.If you have questions about attributes and usability of each schema set, please contact the jurisdiction's GIS coordinator at the Local GIS Contacts Page.

This layer began as part of the Virginia.gov data development project in 2008-2009. VGIN was tasked to generate cartography and data for a specific application for location of Virginia state agency locations in relation to the project. In 2010, The State Broadband Data Development Program (SBDD) Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) dataset leveraged much of that data and catalogued broadband service to a specific feature. The points have since been checked and updated annually as part of the Virginia Landmark dataset. The data is matched to the Virginia Address Point dataset. There are numerous data sources associated to the point. The general development methodology is as follows: The facility data was extracted and geocoded to the VGIN Geocoding service. If results were positioned on the Road Centerline by the RCL locator, those features were subsequently updated and moved to match the address point in the data layer. Unmatched results were added to the map. Non-spatial address location data is harvested into a spreadsheet by the source agency and checked against the GIS data annually. Fields for Landmark Name, Place Type, Source, and Source Type can be used to differentiate specific data as stored in the dataset.Full VA Landmark Database: https://vgin.vdem.virginia.gov/datasets/VGIN::virginia-landmarks/explore

The VA_TOWN dataset is a feature class component of the Virginia Administrative Boundaries dataset from the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN). VA_TOWN represents the best available town boundary information to VGIN.VGIN initially sought to develop an improved locality and town boundary dataset in late 2013, spurred by response of the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup community. The feature class initially started from an extraction of town features from the Census TIGER dataset for Virginia. VGIN solicited input from localities in Virginia through the Road Centerlines data submission process as well as through public forums such as the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup and VGIN listservs. Data received were analyzed and incorporated into the VA_TOWN feature class where locality data were a superior representation of town boundaries.

Since 2015, the Public Service Communication Board, VITA Integrated Services Program staff, and staffs from public safety answering points (PSAPs) have been planning and implementing the deployment of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) for the Commonwealth. Transitioning from the legacy telecommunication network provides numerous benefits and flexibility looking towards the future. As the emergency services internet protocol network (ESInet) is deployed, geospatial call routing uses geographic information system (GIS) data and the 911 caller’s location information to identify which PSAP will receive the call.The process of geospatial call routing relies on the civic address layers (address points and road center line maintained by the localities) and a GIS layer representing PSAP boundaries for the operations area for each PSAP. The PSAP boundary file must ensure that every square foot of the Commonwealth is assigned to one and only one PSAP. There can be no gaps or overlaps. PSAPs sharing boundaries with neighboring states must also meet this same rigor to ensure efficient and consistent delivery of every 911 call initiated.This feature class contains the best available PSAP Boundary Line segments received and processed by VGIN into Virginia State Plane North polygons. All segments are agreed to, but geometry may change in the future with new agreements. The data is available as a feature service https://vginmaps.vdem.virginia.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NG911/NG911_VA_StatePlaneNorth_NAD83_PSAP_Polygon/FeatureServer.

These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. It depicts potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (slr) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: http://www.coast.noaa.gov/slr This metadata record describes the digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above.
