  • Massgis Address Standard
    An Address Standard for Massachusetts Municipalities Issued by: Bureau of Geographic Information (MassGIS) Office of Information Technology (MassIT) Commonwealth of Massachusetts Version 1.0 December 2016 PREFACE What is this document about? Addresses identify locations where people live and work and play. Accurate, consistent, and complete addressing supports better communications, easier travel, and more efficient delivery of goods and services; it may even save lives by expediting emergency response. This standard provides guidance on how addresses should be assigned and how they should be stored and managed using computer software. Who is the intended audience? The intended audience is staff in local government who are involved in address assignment or who use addresses in their daily work, as well as the vendors that provide them with services and software. How does this standard apply to my municipality? Every municipality is different, so different parts of the standard will be relevant depending on what the municipality is interested in doing, and what resources it has available. The scenarios below are intended to help you decide what portions of this document will be most useful to you. Scenario What you should read #1. A largely rural town with addresses recorded in written form or in Sections 1, 2, 3 simple spreadsheet format and an informal process for maintaining Sections 4.1 – 4.3 and sharing address information. Optionally, Sections 6.1 - 6.4.6, 6.5 #2. Same as #1 but with a larger population and/or an urban center Sections 1, 2, 3 and a government with individual departments interested in Section 4 managing addresses in software used for permitting or licensing Sections 5.1 – 5.3 activities.

    Flying high with Old Boys Triumphant A Level success in batting extravaganza! The Saturday 27th June saw the annual staff versus Old 1912 Boys cricket fixture. Played in hot and sunny conditions, it was always going to be a difficult day for the bowlers and so it proved. The staff batted first and posted a very respectable 218 for 5 off their 25 overs. Following some outstanding batting from the Old Boys (and some questionable fielding and bowling from the staff!) the winning total of 219 was reached with 2 wickets and 7 balls to spare. Pictured is the winning Old Boys team, Edition Number 1 Summer 2015 basking in the sun and glory!
