<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>WHAT: This dataset contains point locations of public facilities that serve the Grand Junction community, including schools, fire stations, police stations, hospitals, arts and entertainment centers, parking areas, and other civic and public-use sites. Coverage spans Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction. The dataset represents current conditions and is intended as a general-purpose reference layer used both internally and on public-facing City maps, where certain categories (such as bridges and trailheads) may be filtered out depending on the map's audience.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>SOURCE & METHODOLOGY: Records originate from City government information and from each facility's publicly available information, including address, facility type, and website URLs. New entries are added through manual data entry by the GIS Division. Created by the GIS Division in approximately 2005. Before a new facility is added to the published map, its existence is verified internally with City staff and the GIS Division gathers all relevant attribute information.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>KEY ATTRIBUTES: FACILITY_N holds the facility name. TYPE identifies the category of facility (school, fire station, hospital, etc.). URL links to the facility's website where available. Other fields exist in the schema but are less central to typical use.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>UPDATE CYCLE: Updated as needed when a new public facility is built, acquired, or otherwise brought into service. There is no fixed schedule; updates are event-driven and performed by the GIS Division. Last updated March 2026.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>KNOWN LIMITATIONS: Positional accuracy is not survey-grade — points are digitized from aerial imagery and should be treated as building- or property-level locations rather than precise coordinates. Facilities located outside the City of Grand Junction, in the wider county, may be less accurately positioned than those within city limits, where the GIS Division has more direct familiarity. The URL field is not populated for every facility; some facilities do not have a known public web presence. The dataset reflects facilities the GIS Division is aware of and has verified — a newly opened facility may not appear until staff are notified and verification is complete.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>CONTACT: City of Grand Junction GIS Division.
