Loveland Technologies CEO, Jerry Paffendorf, here.
2019 marks the 10-year anniversary of Loveland Technologies. We’ve evolved a great deal over time, but it’s all been one journey to bring the landgrid to you in different forms. I’m very happy to say that the team and the business are better than they’ve ever been, and we’re excited for our future.
This weekend I’m getting married to one of my co-founders. No, it’s not Larry, though there would be nothing wrong with that. He’s great. Fantastic even. But it’s Mary and I who have chosen to…marry. And Larry will be there.
Those of you who know us know this isn’t a sudden thing. She and I have basically been together since we started working together. Our relationship is one of the many things that keeps our company strong.
Last year she and I started splitting our time between Detroit and the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, surrounded by Lake Superior. This is about as far away from Detroit as you can get while still being in the Mitten State, and about as far away from Detroit as New York City. 
We have a place in the historic copper mining community of Calumet, which for a time in the 1800s was the wealthiest and most populous area in Michigan. I’m loving learning about the geology and the history of the Copper Country in all its forms: immigration, labor, economy, weather, rocks, buildings, land use, wilderness, Lake Superior, pre-industrial indigenous copper trade, all of it.
Just as some natural resource or another led to the creation of all cities, it was the uniquely pure copper in the ground that originally brought investment capital from Boston and other cities to this place, and immigrants from across Europe to work dangerous jobs in the mines — which go down 6,000 feet in places — and to brave winters that can produce 30 feet of snow. Originally all of the land was owned by the mining companies who rented homes to their workers and built public amenities for them — some of which are truly marvelous — in a complicated relationship sometimes called “benevolent paternalism” that was more common closer to the founding of the country.
Today the mines are long closed, but the history remains visible to the naked eye, and gets richer the more you read and learn and study maps. In the vacuum left by the mining companies, the federal and state governments have stepped in to help preserve assets in the area — Calumet and parts of the Keweenaw are in a National Park. Conservationists have been acquiring land to preserve the natural beauty of the place and build trail systems, and people are chipping away at reviving the vacant historic buildings downtown.
One of the things that’s kept me happily occupied with our work for a decade is that the scope of applications for the landgrid and things to learn about the landgrid are endless. It covers everything, and how the land is subdivided, owned, taxed, and used is so fundamental to what makes places sick or healthy, beautiful or janky, attractive or overlooked. We can literally work anywhere and find something meaningful and important to do that can improve life, government, business, and land use in that place.
Over time I’ve come to understand that, while it isn’t the only thing, if you can’t know the landgrid then you can’t know a place, you can’t manage a place, and you’ll have a very hard time making good decisions for the future. You might even lose a place if you’re not paying attention to what’s happening on the landgrid. The story plays out differently in big cities and rural places, but it’s all theme and variation.
I share all this because I know that you care about the parts of the landgrid that apply to your life and work and interests and community, and I want to make it abundantly clear that we care, too.
We work very hard to provide you with tools and data to make understanding and working with the landgrid easier. Doing this feels less like a job and more like a calling to build something fundamental that feels like it’s missing from the world.
Over the years we’ve been able to be a part of so many projects with so many great partners, and we look forward to doing it for years to come while getting better all the time. As we continue, I ask that you please keep us as your trusted partners for all things parcel data, and if we haven’t worked together yet, please don’t be shy about letting us know how we can help. No matter what part of the country you’re in, if you need to understand the landgrid and life on the landgrid locally or nationally, we’re here for you with tools, data, experience, lessons from the past, and an eye for the future.
Look out for some big announcements from our team later this year, thank you for being a part of the journey so far, and contact us any time at team@landgrid.com.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go work on a seating chart — basically just another landgrid in table form,

The Loveland team is back to checkin with our amazing & loyal family of friends, customers & partners.
So what happened this July - Heat waves everywhere, including a record high temperature of 101 degree F in London. Unheard of!!!
While the world has been sizzling, the Loveland team has been trying to find ways to empower people & communities all over.
Working with local governments, land banks & communities to help fight very real issues -blight & tax foreclosure, property data challenges, land survey challenges etc has been keeping us busy & fulfilled.
Here’s what we have for you in the August edition:
1. Landgrid Enterprise for Municipalities:
Here’s a call out to our friends in local municipalities around the country. Landgrid Enterprise is built to help solve your property data & inventory challenges.
Solving real problems across communities is what we do best. We recently spoke to a few communities and found that there is a lot of value in the Landgrid Enterprise platform for MUNICIPALITIES.
How can we help you, you ask???
Most municipal government employees find themselves with lots of work to do, but limited hours in the day. That’s the core problem that Landgrid sets out to help you solve - using our maps and data tools, you and your staff can work more efficiently, use data to make better decisions, and look good as your productivity improves!
Services we offer:
Does any of this resonate with you???
Similarly…..
2. Landgrid Enterprise for Historic Districts:
Our quest for helping local governments recently had us stumbling upon the incredible historic district communities across the country and their need for an updated inventory of properties to retain their historic status.
Did you know that every State has a Historic Preservation Office as a result of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966???
Many States have local historic districts that are tasked with documenting, enforcing, advising, and providing outreach when it comes to historic preservation of both individual structures and entire historic neighborhoods. In the state of Michigan, there is a requirement of “Maintaining a system for the survey and inventory of historic resources”.
Landgrid can help here. With our built in survey editor, our survey expertise & our easy to use Loveland survey phone app, local governments in all historic districts can easily inventory property data in a matter of a week. All you need is to be set up with our platform and may be some happy volunteers from your town.
Surveying expertise runs through the Landgrid team. It’s time to tap into it!
If you or anyone you love is a municipality or a historic district, just holler at enterprise@landgrid.com and we will have you set up in no time.
3. Landgrid Webcasts - Fighting Blight with Jerry Paffendorf!
This July, we kickstarted our educational & awareness series of webcasts meant to bring awareness to core problems that we work on and to also provide helpful, tutorial content for our users.
This week, we launched these webcasts with an amazing discussion on Blight in Detroit with none other than our CEO - Jerry Paffendorf, who has been at the forefront of this fight in Detroit for close to a decade now. In case you missed it, here's also a link to the video - https://landgrid.com/pages/tutorial-videos#w1
This video is a 101 Primer on all things Blight!
The sheer depth of knowledge goes to show how much time Loveland founders have invested in trying to help with this core issue here in Detroit.
Solving real problems across communities in America is at the core of Loveland's value & mission and we are so proud of how far we have come from our humble beginnings!
Stay tuned with our social media posts and content (social media links are embedded in the footer of this email). There will be many more of these helpful webinars & webcasts coming from our team.
And ...Finally……
4. Customer Spotlight - Michigan Humane Society
If you have been following our newsletters these past few months, you know that we always end our email updates with a spotlight on our customer.
We love our customers and want to celebrate them. We recently worked with the Michigan Humane Society, who do such good work on a daily basis, selflessly with a smile on their face.
Meet, Becki Kenderes who recently used the Loveland Next App for their outreach program to ensure animals are kept in their homes and well taken for and not relegated to shelters.
This is what Becki had to say about her experience with Loveland:
"To keep animals in their homes and out of shelters, the Michigan Humane Society recently launched an outreach program in the neighborhoods surrounding our Detroit shelter. Through this program, we provide free food, supplies and other resources to pet owners in need. We’ve created a custom survey using the Loveland Next app that helps us effortlessly track critical information like which homes we’ve attempted to visit, where pets live and which areas we don’t need to revisit (such as vacant lots and vacant properties)."
Becki, you give us too much credit. You & your team are the real heroes here. And of course, let's not forget the animals (true heroes, who make our lives better & happier).
That wraps up updates from July for this edition.
We will see you back in a month’s time with hopefully even better, more exciting updates.
That’s the goal. To keep getting better with time - like fine wine!

Happy July, Everyone!
It’s that time of the year - Longer days, picnics, barbeques, fireworks, or, if you work in an office, sweating while you email! Towel off and keep typing, everyone, only one more word mile to go.
As we gear up for a wonderful 4th of July weekend, the Loveland team has some updates on the grill that we’re ready to turn over.
1. Data Partner and Reseller Program -
For those of you in the data business:
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could distribute or advertise your data to an engaged and growing nationwide audience? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could offer your customers the option of adding affordable nationwide parcel data without sending them to someone else?
We are actively seeking data partners along two dimensions:
Our goal is to provide more out-of-the-box data to our visitors and customers, and to reach more people with our nationwide parcel dataset while helping other data providers succeed. Simply write us at parcels@landgrid.com and we’ll talk through it together.
We have already set up a few of these relationships. Here is one example:
2. Landgrid Data is now available on the Demyst Marketplace -
DemystData is one of the largest data marketplaces in the world, dedicated to serving large data users who can pick and choose from many different data offerings. They carry 100’s of data products & API’s on their site and we are thrilled to join the ranks of many of our colleagues on Demyst.
Here’s a blog by Demyst announcing the availability of the Landgrid Data API on their marketplace - https://demyst.com/2019/05/23/landgrid-data-spotlight/
3. Customer Spotlight:
We’re not big self-promoters here at Loveland, but we are trying to get better at telling the stories of the projects we work on and the results our customers achieve with both our software and our data. Keeping customers happy and satisfied has always been a top priority for us and our team works hard to accomplish this.
Here’s what Michele Oberholtzer from the United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) recently had to say about the value that she and her organization get from our Landgrid Enterprise software and services:
4. New Landgrid Free -
We recently launched an improved & simplified free version of our Landgrid Mapping Platform. For those of us who would like to test out what the Landgrid platform is capable of doing before investing in our paid subs, this is just the right tool. It’s limited but it allows for a user to get a taste of what the platform can do in its full capacity. If you know of friends and family who could benefit from this tool, please let them know. Its free forever, and doesn’t require a credit card to signup.
This is also a wonderful gateway into trying before upgrading into Landgrid Pro - which has unlimited options and features and can get absolutely anybody started on their property mapping & surveying endeavours (without prior GIS experience) for just $10/month. Looking to make a change from Free to Pro?? Sign up here.
5. Migration From SiteControl to Landgrid.com -
Those of you in the know have been aware of our recent re-branding efforts from Makeloveland and Sitecontrol to landgrid.com. Not only was this just a rebranding effort but also a migration of our platform from sitecontrol.us to landgrid.com.
Basically, this means that those of you who signed up with us on Sitecontol can continue to use your account with the exact same login credentials on landgrid.com. It’s the same platform in terms of functionality but with a different, improved user interface.
We plan on shutting down Sitecontrol.com altogether on November 1st, 2019. There is still plenty of time. We know change is not easy but we urge you to start familiarizing yourself with landgrid.com and slowly move away from your Sitecontrol accounts. This will make the transition into the new UI easier. Please bear in mind that we have replicated everything on landgrid.com and we are working on adding more usability related features & in-app onboarding to our platform soon.
If you ever feel like you need help to transition from Sitecontrol to Landgrid, please feel free to email nick@landgrid.com or sahana@landgrid.com and we will work with you to make this process smoother.
And finally:
6. Mapping Mondays - Well, who doesn’t love Maps! Mondays can be less beloved, so starting this week, we kicked off a new program called the “Mapping Mondays” to take the edge off with a tiny espresso shot of geography. Every monday, you will find beautiful, color coded parcel maps built on none other than the Landgrid Pro on our social media accounts which you can follow here:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/makeloveland
Twitter: https://twitter.com/makeLOVELAND
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makeloveland/
Please send us requests for the kind of maps you would like to see and we will build those and showcase them for you.
Soon we would like to start mapping tutorials (Webinars & Google Hangouts) so you can watch the software in action and learn how to map & survey with Landgrid Pro & Enterprise. We can help you with specific use cases that would be useful to you in your everyday projects at work.
Well, that’s it from us this July. There will be many more updates in the August edition, including USPS residential & vacancy data.
Until then, don’t be shy if we can help you solve your property data challenges.
A Very Happy 4th of July to all of you, from the Loveland Team!
Happy Mapping!!!
