Functional prototypes built on Minnesota open civic data. Where possible, each prototype loads real data from the originating agency’s public portal.
A single statewide system for construction contractors to submit certified payroll reports on public works projects, replacing the fragmented process that currently flows through 2,600+ individual Minnesota local governments. Includes a public wage-rate lookup for all 87 counties, biweekly payroll submission with real-time validation, and a DLI compliance dashboard.
Interactive maps of new housing units permitted across Minnesota, drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau's Building Permits Survey and the Address Count Listing File. Compare permit volume and net housing-unit change across counties, places, and tracts, with period and metric toggles to isolate specific vintages.
Track Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) affordability covenants that are approaching expiration across Minnesota. Maps every LIHTC property in the state, flags those whose use restrictions expire within a configurable window, and links to the underlying HUD record. Useful for policymakers and preservation organizations planning for covenant turnover.
Centralized search for Minnesota's statewide cooperative contracts administered by the Office of State Procurement (OSP). These umbrella agreements let state agencies and CPV members buy goods and services under pre-negotiated terms. Search by release number, title, vendor, or buyer.
Explore Minnesota expense and revenue data from official MMB budget publications. Drill from statewide totals into bill areas, agencies, funds, programs, and budget codes, compare budget years side by side, and review adopted spending against actual execution.
Explore compensation for every Minnesota state employee across 15 fiscal years. Drill from agency-level rollups into divisions, positions, and individual employees; compare wage breakdowns (regular, overtime, other); and filter by salary distribution. Built on MMB's published HR and earnings files.
Per-chapter scan of every bill signed into law by the 94th Minnesota Legislature. Each chapter is summarized, mapped to its implementing state agency, and scored as a Concourse software-development opportunity (Headline, Strong, Moderate, Minor, or None). Filter by opportunity tier, search the full text, or narrow to a single agency.
Explore residential new-construction building permits issued by the City of St. Paul since 2015, mapped by planning district and broken down by dwelling type. Data is pulled live from the St. Paul Open Information portal.
Interactive maps of net housing-unit changes across St. Paul at Census tract, block-group, and block granularity. Toggle between time periods and display metrics (net change, percent change, unit additions, demolitions) to see how residential building stock has shifted between Census vintages. ACLF counts cover all housing units — occupied, vacant, and seasonal.
Track pothole 311 complaints and repair performance across Minneapolis' 13 City Council Wards. Includes map view, citywide repair SLAs, neighborhood equity scoreboard, priority queue, and repeat-offender hotspots. Data pulled from OpenDataMPLS Public 311 and aggregated with ACS 2019-2023 block-group estimates.
