The USGS has announced competitive grants opportunities of up to $500,000 to fund imagery and LiDAR acquisitions. A priority area has been identified in Virginia as seen in the attached map. VGIN is planning a cooperative grant application to acquire LiDAR for as much of the priority area as possible. We plan to concentrate on areas without existing LiDAR. We are looking for partners to provide letters of support and additional funds to increase the area covered.

Focus on the coastal localities, especially the rural localites on the bay side. Rural localities have the least resources, but extensive shoreline miles with significant ecological and anthropogenic impacts (vdot roads, loss of tax base from erosion, septic systems, wells and other infrastrucutre in harms way). Focus on the bay side localtiies and work inland.
