• NAIP Licensing
  • Although nothing is certain yet, the impact upon the state of the APFO moving towards internal use of licensed data needs to be addressed
  • There are multiple vendors and options that might be available to the state, but these & the associated costs need to be weighed out, including access to the data by local government and vendors working for some level of state government
  • We will need to work together to be sure we aren't duplicating cost and effort
