National Map Elevation and Imagery Funding Available
USGS has 15 discretionary grant opportunities to collect and process imagery and elevation maps to be included as part of the National Map. The funds are part of the Stimulus aka the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Awards run up to $500,000 are are open to institutions of higher education and non-federal government agencies.
A funding opportunity notice from the U.S. Geological Survey states: "Many organizations including state and local governments, private and non-profit firms, as well as many Federal government agencies use these data to support their applications and requirements planning, infrastructure improvements, resource assessments and scientific studies. The data collected under this announcement will become available to the public through The National Map. Priorities for the program include collecting elevation data over those coastal areas of United States most susceptible to storm and hurricane flooding, earthquake damage, and coastal erosion and also increasing coverage and availability of leaf-off high resolution orthoimagery."
The funding opportunity number is 10HQPA0014 (CFDA 15.817). It was posted Oct. 27 with an application closing date of Dec. 1.

Louisville, KY Stimulus Map
Best I can tell this an ESRI ADF based app. I wonder why the city didn't use Flex like most other ESRI stimulus maps?
Also interesting: the map says (C) 2009 but not to whom the data is copyright. I do believe the info on the projects is public domain, from the federal government. Full details on projects send you to PDFs on city website.
