KGIS and the Knox County Property Assessor's Department have selected the Sidwell Company's Parcel Builder™ suite of mapping software to be part of its upgraded GIS software solution. Over the next two years, KGIS (as part of its M2E software upgrade project with CH2M Hill, Inc.) will be transitioning more than 29 mapping-related City and County workflows to a new ESRI GIS software architecture. The Sidwell Parcel Builder software will work in tandem with the ESRI software, thereby providing enhanced productivity tools to the Property Assessor's Mapping personnel, who on average commit more than 25,000 parcel and ownership transactions per year into the KGIS Property (Cadastral) database. Sidwell is an 80 year old mapping company, whose customer base is primarily in the Midwest. KGIS and Knox County will be Sidwell's first Parcel Builder customer in the state of Tennessee.

A new theme has been added to the KNOXnetWhere? mapping website. City Engineering maintains survey control points throughout the city which can be seen on the City's website:  http://www.ci.knoxville.tn.us/engineering/civil/surveypoints.asp.  The mapping data is hosted by KGIS.  A round disk is placed in concrete for each one of these points for surveyors to reference.  The city added over 70 new points and flagged the ones destroyed by construction or demolition.  The City maintains over 1100 active survey control points.
