As we head into the holidays and the new year — 2020, eek! — here’s what’s new and what to know:
1. New 2020 Parcel Pricing -
Our CEO - Jerry Paffendorf announced this last month in the November Letter from the CEO. Starting January 2020 we will be raising our parcel licensing prices.
This new pricing does NOT affect our existing customers and those who buy from us by the end of the year will be grandfathered in as well.
If you want access to nationwide parcel data for your own app or database, contact us at parcels@regrid.com today to lock in 2019 pricing into the future.
2. End of the Year Pro Account Discount -
You can grab a Pro account for only $75/year if you sign up here before the end of December. Look out for even more data coming to Pro accounts soon, including nationwide building footprints in January.
3. Goodbye Sitecontrol -
This December, we will be finally closing down sitecontrol.us. While some of you aren’t familiar with the old name, what we call the Landgrid mapping platform today used to be called Sitecontrol.us previously. Post rebranding, we have been navigating and urging all of our users to fully transition to landgrid.com.
Don’t fret. We have retained all of Sitecontrol’s features and made the UI even better and easier to use with Regrid.com. So all you have to do is use your Sitecontrol login credentials to login into Regrid.com and you will be on your way to making beautiful maps and comprehensive surveys. Better UI with all the benefits of Sitecontrol!
4. People of Landgrid - Dr. Stephen Sills!
If you are looking for an inspiring quick read on how to use parcel data to accomplish great and interesting things, look no further: https://regrid.com/people-of-regrid/stephen-sills
Stephen Sills, Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro & the Director of the Center for Housing & Community Studies.
Dr.Sills has focused his research work on core issues such as global migration, immigration, and social support networks for marginalized people.
As the Director of UNCG Center for Housing and Community Studies (CHCS), he and his team are committed to understanding the impediments to fair housing, the continuum of care for the homeless & the impact of housing on health.
A long time Regrid platform user, Dr.Sills has used Regrid for various projects - from documenting the conditions of housing in a few specific neighborhoods to using the "blexting" app, then in a remote assessment of nearly 16,000 parcels in High Point, NC, and more recently in projects using our own survey instruments and remote assessment in Greensboro (78,000 parcels), and Rocky Mount (3,500 parcels).
So proud of all the great work that Dr. Sills and the CHCS are doing.
With that, we want to THANK YOU for all the support and love you have given us this year and hope that we’re blessed to receive the same in the coming years as well.
Happy Holidays - We wish you happiness and merriment with your loved ones this Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or however you celebrate the season.
We will meet again in 2020. Watch out for bigger and better product updates next year!
As always, we are just an email away. Feel free to email us at parcels@regrid.com if you have any questions or updates for us.
Happy Mapping!
