Open Data & Resources

Data is Fuel for Civic Hacking

We believe public resources including data should be open, accessible, and friendly to all residents. That means not only should residents have access to public records, but those records should be available in a way that’s easy to request, receive, read, and utilize.

Below is a collecton of open data resources we have come across as well as resources for making public information requets.
