CIRGIS has an unexpected opportunity to make a 2020 aerial imagery collection in Santa Barbara County in August. If you are interested in participating, please contact David Burkhart, CIRGIS CFO (via e-mail drburkhart@earthlink.net or telephone 805-644-5353).
The company doing the collection will be The Sanborn Map Company (the same company that did the 2017 collection and the oldest mapping company in the United States). 3-inch, 6-inch and 12-inch resolutions will be available and as usual there will be a third-party doing QA/QC to see that the technical specifications are met. With collection in August, imagery delivery is projected to be in April 2021. Because of unusual circumstances 6-inch resolution imagery is more expensive than 3-inch resolution. Almost all agencies in the Ventura County 2020 collection chose 3-inch resolution. If you cannot join us this time, CIRGIS has also scheduled a collection in the Spring of 2022 and again in 2024. Please plan ahead.
