911 READDRESSING PROJECT

• Following the County wide 911 Readdressing Project very few addresses within the county were searchable using any navigation software.– Google Maps - Map Quest– Apple Maps - Garmin– TomTom - Etc.

• This poses a real issue for both business and residential property owners within Monroe County.– Businesses could not be found online – Residential addresses were not navigable

• The Supervisors and Staff at Chestnuthill Township felt it was necessary to come up with a solution for this problem.

THE PROBLEM

• Some Examples of the Problem:– Wells Fargo Bank

• (400 Main Street, Stroudsburg PA 18360)

– Monroe County Control Center • (100 Gypsum Rd, Stroudsburg PA 18360)

– Grapevine Antiques • (137 Erin Ln, Brodheadsville PA 18322)

THE SOLUTION

• Google Maps accounts for roughly 78% of all Mobile Travel Usage

• Google Search is used by nearly 77% of all Internet Users worldwide.

• Out of all Google Searches 73% of them are local requests, such as Restaurants, Shoppe's, etc. – Now google search even includes a google map of what

CHESTNUTHILL TOWNSHIP & GOOGLE MAPS

• We chose to edit google maps since it is the only mapping program that allowed us to update to the new 911 Addresses.

• Over the past few months time has been spent editing and reviewing all the addresses within Chestnuthill Township on Google Maps.

• As of today residents and business owners can use google maps for navigation within Chestnuthill Township– This allows local businesses to be found and allows residents

and visitors to navigate the township accurately.
