Topic:  Regulatory and Field Applications for GIS Data 

Synopsis:  This ACEC/MA Member Briefing on Teams  will review the myriad of geospatial information available through MassGIS and other sources, along with strategies to achieve successful project outcomes using this information. We will examine case studies relevant to planning efforts, including due diligence exercises and the regulatory limitations of geospatial data. The webinar will also provide instructions to get the most out of using LiDAR to inform delineations and identify areas of focus for field work.
