    Orthophotography/LiDAR

    A south-to-north acquisition was performed in 2011 to complete approximately 30 of the 92 counties in the center column of the state. The eastern counties were flown in 2012 and the remaining western counties will be flown in spring 2013.

     

    The planes will soon be airborne in as early as mid-February to begin the acquisition of the third and final year of this cycle of ortho/LiDAR.
