Salisbury Launches First ‘Open Data Hub,’ An Easier Tool to Find Anything You Need to Know About the City

It’s been about a month since Salisbury officially launched its first ‘open data hub’–a collection of information and data made available, free of cost, to the public.

Users can find information on anything from city government, to infrastructure, transportation, public safety and more.

The research has ben organized in an orderly fashion by two city officials who say this new website provides both locals and visitors the ability to learn more about the city and its people. Assistant Director of Information Services John O’Brien is one of the creators who said research took about two years, followed by 30 days of creating the actual website.

Visitors can download raw data, view visualizations and maps, build new apps using templates, and easily share data or insights with others.

  1. Number one, it’s not a city. It’s a College town that wants to be a city when it grows up,like the clueless kids running it want to be adults when they grow up. Plus it’s a $hithole made up of pizza joints, fast food, and car dealerships. Oh and vacant buildings and bad roads. But it has the most state of the art bike lanes that nobody uses in the territory. That’s all you need to know.

  2. What is it that we are supposed to see with the data hub? That the place has been run into the ground? Here is a thought – actually fight crime and reduce it along with cleaning up the school system. THEN people MAY want to come back, but not until those two factors are fixed. I will say this, I would sure hate to be a teacher in one of those schools. My youngest graduates next year and if only half of what he says is true, I can believe no real learning is occurring except for the AP classes.
