Data integration by local and state governments is undertaken for the public good to support the interconnected needs of families and communities. Though data infrastructure is a powerful tool to support equity-oriented reforms, equity is rarely centered as a core goal for data integration. This raises fundamental concerns, as integrated data increasingly provide the raw materials for evaluation, research, and risk modeling. This session will provide an overview of the newly updated Toolkit for Centering Racial Equity Throughout Data Integration (2025), the companion Workbook, and explore how participants can apply these learnings to center equity throughout the data life cycle in their day-to-day work.

In May, the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) launched a web-based tool to assist with the potential siting of solar projects and further the goal of increasing our state’s supply of zero-carbon energy. CREST provides free access to various layers of state, federal, and institutional data – demographic, forestry, geology, land use, water, wildlife, and more – that can be used by municipal planners, solar developers, conservation organizations, members of the public, and others to visualize where renewable energy best fits into Connecticut’s diverse landscape. Learn more about CREST and how to use it from the developers of the tool at DEEP with input from UConn-CLEAR, primary partners with DEEP on the CREST.
