The SWMPC collects, analyzes, and interprets large amounts of information about the region to inform its many planning activities. When residents, representatives of the public and private sector, and local governments are in need of data to inform their own planning processes, the SWMPC is happy to access its databases, file cabinets, servers, reports, and staff knowledge to meet those needs.
Examples of past requests have included:
- Regional workforce demographics
- Population growth in certain areas
- Descriptions of residents within certain cities
Responses from the SWMPC may include:
- Discussion with an SWMPC staff member
- Referral to a current SWMPC report, analysis, map, or project
- Referral to a non-SWMPC resource (report, department, or person)
- Referral to a local, state or national data source (i.e. U.S. Census)
- Creation of a new memorandum or brief
