PROJECT BENEFITS • Sign Inventory is part of FVPD asset management initiative. • This project would be beneficial for the Fox Valley Park District in many ways, it will help with the management and maintenance of park signs and keep them up-to-date. • Park rangers or maintenance workers wouldn’t have to look for the signs when they go to check on them; instead they can use ESRI Software integrated handheld device go to the exact GPS location and see the sign. • Another benefit of inventory of signs is, it helps in marketing and advertisement. • Typically FPVD personnel does this task using $2000 ESRI Software enabled handheld device which cost FVPD lot of money and time, with Scouts and I doing this project will save money as well tax dollars.
