Behind the scenes

How this tool works

Building permit and planning data is pulled daily from Greenville’s city-published ArcGIS API and stored in Azure SQL. Road closure data comes from the city’s E911 ArcGIS feed and is refreshed every hour. A daily export then publishes everything to Azure Blob Storage, where the map reads it directly, no backend required at read time.
