Resources & Reports

Amherst is a 54 square mile suburban community located on the western border of New York State, just ten miles north of Buffalo. Our geographic proximity to New York City, Toronto, Pittsburgh, and Chicago makes us a natural hub for distribution, telecommunications, and back office operations.

The Town of Amherst internet- based mapping system can also provide location services. Geographic information system (GIS) layers include parcel data, land use, aerial photos, and other tools to display important information. Zoom and overlay functions provide a truly interactive experience. Online project management and permitting are on the horizon as well. See for yourself at: www.amherst.ny.us/maps
