Hi
everyone
As you probably know
by now, The Maine GeoLibrary, MEGIS, USGS, and the State Planning Office have
been working hard to implement a new statewide orthoimagery collection
program. One that is recurring, predictable, and inexpensive. We are
pleased to see this moving forward in year 1, with Cumberland and York County
going first. Although York County itself backed out due to political
issues around the budget, many of the towns are paying that extra piece and
moving forward regardless. We will begin collection in early to mid April,
covering all of Cumberland County and about 1/2 of York County. Many towns
have bought up to 6" or even 3" resolution.
Although overdue, we
have finally put together a web site for the program which is available at http://www.maine.gov/geolib, the Maine
GeoLibrary web site.
We are already
thinking about next year and will be in touch with those counties and towns in
late March.
