We are a North Carolina nonprofit bringing professional-grade geospatial analysis, precision mapping products, and energy resilience resources to the communities of Moore County and the greater NC Sandhills region — without the price tag that usually goes with it.
Moore County and the surrounding Sandhills region are rich in land, community, and natural resources. They are not rich in access to the kind of professional geospatial services that shape land use decisions, trail infrastructure, energy planning, and environmental stewardship in better-resourced places.
Moore Energy & Mapping was organized to close that gap. We apply 30+ years of geospatial intelligence, remote sensing, and applied GIS expertise at the community scale — producing the maps, data, and analysis that local government, nonprofits, land trusts, and residents need but rarely have access to.
Everything we produce is built on open-source tools and open data. Every deliverable is released under open licenses. The work stays in the community.
We are organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. No private benefit. No hidden agenda. The data is yours.
Moore County Mapping and Energy Alliance is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Directors serve three-year staggered terms. The Board meets quarterly and is responsible for organizational oversight, financial stewardship, and strategic direction.

Moore Energy & Mapping's primary technical partner is BlueLens Analytics LLC — a cleared geospatial intelligence consultancy registered in North Carolina and operated by the organization's Board Chair, Christopher Coffey.
BlueLens provides the technical horsepower behind Moore Energy & Mapping's more advanced deliverables: SAR change detection pipelines, remote sensing analysis, automated geospatial workflows, and defense-grade spatial analytics. The two organizations operate in tandem — BlueLens as the for-profit technical arm, Moore Energy & Mapping as the nonprofit community-facing vehicle for grants, outreach, and mission-driven work.
This structure keeps the community programs organizationally distinct from commercial consulting, while ensuring access to the highest-caliber geospatial expertise available in the Sandhills region.
