Case Study: Lincoln Park improves floodplain compliance and saves hours with Forerunner

Lincoln Park - Customer Case Study

The borough of Lincoln Park, New Jersey, faced significant challenges in managing its extensive floodplains, with over 25% of its land being flood-prone. Its manual processes, which relied on outdated paper maps from the 1980s and physical document storage, were time-consuming and prone to error, making permit reviews and compliance with state regulations inefficient. The municipality turned to Forerunner's AI-powered floodplain management software to modernize its operations.

By implementing Forerunner’s platform, Lincoln Park digitized its flood maps and automated key workflows, including error detection on Elevation Certificates. This solution saved the development office hours of time, streamlined permit reviews, and contributed to the town maintaining its Class 5 rating in the Community Rating System program, which provides residents a 25% discount on flood insurance. Forerunner has been instrumental in transforming the borough's floodplain management into a more efficient and resilient digital system.
