NYS Child Care Desert Mapping Application
New York State identified $100M to build and expand child care capacity in areas with the least supply. The NYS Child Care Deserts Map shows all census tracts in NYS, the gap in available child care slots and the potential base request for application (RFA) score for each tract. This mapping application was used as a tool for child care provider applicants and the NYS Office of Children and Families to distribute American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to expand child care capacity in NYS.

NYS Liquor Authority Mapping Project (LAMP)
The purpose of this mapping application is to help determine the eligibility of establishments requesting a liquor license in relation to their proximity to churches and schools. Different types of licenses have different requirements. This application allows users to interact with the map and customize and export their results. In addition, users can generate a proximity report for an address showing the 8 closest liquor stores, schools and churches within 500 feet and pending and active on premises liquor licenses within 750 feet. This was a collaborative project with Cogent Technologies in Troy, NY.

This Tableau Story allows users to identify areas where progress is being made, determine where further resources and efforts are needed to help guide community efforts, so all children achieve a high standard of well-being. (Please Note: I created this Tableau Story, but the Tableau Public account shows a new Tableau developer name because I retired in 2018 and the same account is being used by a new employee).
