H-GAC and members of Geographic Data Workgroup (GDW) rely on business, and residential data for various mapping activities. For the past few years, H-GAC has relied on Infogroup's data as the most reliable resource, in terms of location accuracy of business and address classifications. In addition, individual residential data has been a resource relied on by the Greater Harris and Rural 9-1-1 counties for address verifications.

On behalf of contributing members of GDW, H-GAC has negotiated to renew the license agreement of Infogroup's 2017 Business and Residential database. The renewed license agreement would allow H-GAC and contributing members of GDW to obtain the Infogroup 2017 Business and Residential database, as well as continue to use past year's licensed databases. Cost of the renewal would be $51,540, borne collectively through elective cost-sharing contributions which have already been committed.
