Looking Ahead to the New Year

Dear colleagues and partners,

As we close out the year, I want to personally thank you for your continued trust and partnership with Urban GIS.

As we head into the New Year, we’re preparing to share several important updates — including a refreshed direction, an expanded industry focus, and a major announcement that reflects where our work is headed next.

You may begin to see early references to EDGE Geospatial, a broader platform we’ve been building to support our evolving mission and long-term vision.

At its core, the work remains grounded in what has always defined us: Utility-focused. Partnership-driven. Results-aligned.

And looking ahead, it reflects a broader commitment to: Innovation. Inclusion. Impact.

If you’re curious, we invite you to take an early look at what’s taking shape by visiting our website, where we’re previewing elements of what’s ahead — including new initiatives and ways to engage. 👉 www.edgegeospatial.org.

We believe we’re on the edge of something meaningful, and we look forward to sharing more with you early in the New Year. Until then, we wish you and your team a safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

Warm regards,

Keith A. Searles
CEO & Founder Urban GIS, Inc. | EDGE Geospatial
