Good Morning All, One of our members asked what bond proceeds would be used for. The attached information sheet describes a proposed usage of funds. The data needs outlined in the attached information sheet are, parcel mapping for communities, topographic and bathymetric elevation (lidar) data, orthoimagery, and land cover. Usage of bond proceeds would require the GeoLibrary to find at least one dollar of matching funds from other sources for each dollar of bond funding. The Board would appreciate your efforts to contact your legislators to encourage their support of the bill LD 318.<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiVzYXSg8vYAhXn54MKHVULDqQQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Flegislature.maine.gov%2Flegis%2Fbills%2Fdisplay_ps.asp%3FLD%3D318%26snum%3D128&usg=AOvVaw2MLdqcDPRTZQWVJL6CAcC2> Another sample letter of support is attached.
