Pictometry Press Release on LAR-IAC2


LAR-IAC Overview

The LAR-IAC represents a model in regional cooperation that improves the quality, access, and cost-effectiveness of high resolution aerial imagery.  Knowledge transfer is increased through consortium program meetings, user groups, and various workshops that have been established in conjunction with this project. The imagery acquired will enable all participating jurisdictions the ability to leverage this key geographic information asset for numerous decision support business applications, which will enable the effective and efficient delivery of services. More information on the LAR-IAC can be found on the Background Information page.
