Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and Purdue Extension have developed County Land Use Planning and Water Resources Dashboards to help community leaders and residents better understand their natural resources at the county level, where many land-use decisions are made. These models are based on the work of several collaborators as part of the Tipping Point Planner decision support system. Dashboard profiles are available for all counties within Great Lakes states.
What you can do:
See land-use change forecasts for your county.
Identify the total amount and sub-types of open space in your county.
Identify the areas of prime farmland in your county.
Review a summary of water quality indicators for your county.
