COMMUNITY GIS; APPLICATIONS AND DATA NEEDS
Gretchen Heldmann, GISP, LF
Senior Project Manager
Gretchen currently works out of the Bangor area as Senior Project Manager for Corson GIS Solutions. She recently completed nearly ten years of municipal service working for the Town of Hampden as their GIS/IT Specialist. While in Hampden,
Gretchen built many GIS data layers, relying on GeoLibrary Board products such as orthoimagery and LiDAR to create said layers. These data were used to manage required information for various town functions ranging from compliance with the town's stormwater
permit, to assembling maps for economic development or emergency services purposes, to crosschecking information in the assessor's database. Gretchen also served on the GeoLibrary Board for six years, including a couple years as Chair. She has a BS in Forestry
