On Wednesday November 13, from 9am- 3pm at Clovis City Hall, members of the public are invited to see how the City of Clovis utilizes GIS in city planning, public safety, and public utilities. City of Clovis GIS experts will showcase maps, provide up-close looks at city vehicles which use GIS and present a demonstration on drones.

GIS Day is an international celebration of GIS. Events will be taking place at hundreds of locations around the globe.
