Westport, CT has a new Esri-based map viewer. The city is offering several 90 and 150 minute classes on using it. Good thing - since I oculd not get the help to work. The old intro page says you must use IE not AOL or another browser. Safari worked fine.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg is taking a new approach to preserving the history of the centuries-old Mount Calvary Cemetery in Allison Hill.
The diocese has allowed the National Park Service and the Land Logistics Group of Camp Hill to map the cemetery through laser and global positioning satellite technology.
Sally Holbert, President of Land Logics Group, said the technology could make genealogy and record-keeping a snap.
"I can click on any of these cemetery sections and information associated with that cemetery block pops up," she said.
Holbert has been using the digital laser mapping process for years in her work as a landscape architect and thought it could be useful to the diocese.
I guess the plan is to use GPS and LiDAR.

Creating a Geographic Information System map will cost Franklin County [PA] $744,000.
The work will be done by Sidwell and will build on a parcel mapping pilot that's complete. Of note, the system will include a uniform parcel identifier . And, in the future the county may levy a tax of $10 or $15 per deed or mortgage recorded that would help fund the system longterm.

Franklin County, AL put its GIS to good use after a tornado struck. But it would not have had the resource unless action happened in 2008.
The system started with David Palmer, Franklin County highway engineer, convincing 14 local entities to buy into the system back in 2008 that cost $350,000 in grants and local funds.
This year the challenge was hiring a GIS, which after some tabling was funded.

Franklin County PA is still in need of a county GIS and basemap.
"We think this is the most important investment for the county in its future," said L. Michael Ross, president of Franklin County Area Development Corp. "We are the only county between Dauphin County and Frederick County, Va., that does not have a base map. As we start to plan for growth, we anticipate that we will need the best planning tools. This is it."
