3DGeo Data Acquisition Workgroup - Status Information

Statewide Outreach Meeting was held on April 27, 2021. See the slides.

The table below provides an overview of the lidar planning status for the lidar acquisition areas in Minnesota. The rows show different stages of the planning and grant application as well as data acquisition and delivery. The columns and cells show the status for each of the phases by lidar acquisition area. Additionally, the first column provides a guideline for the ideal timeframe for each step, if it is known.

Also please see the Current Status of Lidar Planning Map.

The 3DGeo data acquisition team shares information about upcoming meetings and lidar news in the Minnesota GIS Newsletter. If you have specific questions, or would like to learn more about a specific item on this page, please contact us at lidar@state.mn.us.
