Geospatial Analysis

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are invaluable tools for storing, analyzing, and understanding location-based information. At Downstream Strategies, we use GIS and geospatial technologies in nearly every project to solve problems in a coherent and well-organized manner. Our expertise in geospatial analysis helps us develop efficient, workable solutions for our clients.

Downstream Strategies believes maps and mapping are an important component of science and communication. We are well-versed in a wide range of GIS skills and applications including environmental modeling, logistics and routing, ecological modeling, and developing and maintaining large databases. We also offer extensive experience creating end-user platforms, ranging from simple web maps to fully customized analytical tools.

POWER for Transition: Investment in Coal Communities through the Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and Economic Revitalization (POWER) Initiative

This report examines implementation of the POWER Initiative, which assists communities hurt by declines in coal mining and coal-fired electricity generation. The lessons learned through this retrospective analysis can be used to guide current and future federal policymaking to revitalize the economies of coal communities.

Source Water Protection and Planning

We have assisted many West Virginia municipalities with source water protection and planning, including small communities and larger cities such as Wheeling and Morgantown. We worked extensively with Morgantown Utility Board on their source water protection and planning initiatives since 2014.
