Yolo GIS Cooperative
The County of Yolo, the cities of Davis, Woodland, Winters, and West Sacramento along with Sacramento Regional Council of Governments (SACOG) are working jointly as a cooperative to develop shared GIS data layers and maintaining shared regional GIS resources. Current projects include maintenance of a county-wide tax parcel data layer and a road centerline data set. Future projects include development of additional shared data sets, including Jurisdictional boundaries, planning areas and spheres of influence.
