Good Afternoon Everyone, The Board received great news today with notification that the Maine Real Estate and Development Association submitted testimony to the Appropriations Committee in support of LD 318. Their letter is attached. Please consider submitting a letter to the Appropriations Committee and/or the Governor's office in support of this important legislation. This funding would ensure the Boards continued support of existing LiDAR, orthoimagery acquisitions. It would also provide funding for matching grants to communities for digital parcel map development, one meter land cover data, and other geospatial data acquisition important to the state of Maine. Having a T-tremendous Tuesday, a big shout out to Rosemary for making contact with MEREDA and getting their support. Thank you Rosemary!
