Callowhill-based GIS mapping firm Azavea just scored big grant dollars from the federal government to develop a climate change tool.
It’s the second grant from the Department of Energy, which previously granted $225,000 to the firm to create the tool, which will be able to map out and compare impacts like energy usage and public health statistics against other communities. This grant will help them expand on the product.
