Virginia Base Mapping Program Update – Advisory Board Meeting April 2012
The VGIN Advisory Board convened on April 17, 2012, to discuss the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP) updates and accomplishments from 2011. Key topics included enhanced web services, updates on LiDAR projects, and results from a state-wide GIS capacity survey among local governments. The meeting highlighted extensive collaborations and significant expenditures on digital orthoimagery and LiDAR, totaling $2,005,608, with a breakdown of costs and localities involved. Future steps included promoting survey results and engaging stakeholders for better GIS integration across Virginia.

GIS Baseline Surveyfor Localities – Results Stefanie McGuffin ISP Regional Coordinator April 17, 2012 www.vita.virginia.gov 15
Local Government GIS…what’s what? • Until this effort, there was no state-wide collection of information regarding GIS capabilities and services at localities. Software / Platform ? Planning ? Data distribution ? GIS Staff ? Emergency Services support? Basedata ? Maintenance schedules ? Professional training ?
We Found Out! • VGIN developed and distributed a survey and results are posted!
Yes = 29.4% Yes but not enough = 33.6% No = 37%
Next Steps • Engage stakeholders to review results • Promote survey results • Discuss at GIS Users Group meetings • Use as education tool • Encourage feedback • Findings/What was learned • Determine action items • What assistance can VGIN offer
THANK YOU Questions and Comments? Using Geographic Knowledge to Create a Better Virginia
