Vermilion officials want 2nd contract with firm to overhaul GIS

DANVILLE – Almost six years ago, Vermilion County started a geographic information system and raised document filing fees to help pay for it, then signed a multiyear contract for hundreds of thousands of dollars with an outside firm that would help start the system.

Now, the system is not functioning at the level it should be, according to county officials who want the Vermilion County board to approve another contract with Bruce Harris and Associates, allowing the firm to overhaul it.
