Good News Everyone!
I am happy to announce that the CT GIS Office has selected
Dewberry Engineers, Inc. as the vendor that will be acquiring aerial imagery and LiDAR for the entire state as well as producing some requested derived data products.
Here is a summary of the deliverables agreed to by both OPM and Dewberry:

If you or your organization are interested in acquiring any buy-ups from Dewberry, please reach out to their point of contact for this project:
Srinu Ratnala ([log in to unmask]) to discuss. If you or your organization elect to purchase something, please keep the CT GIS Office in the loop in case we can be of assistance in any way.
The Dewberry team is currently ready to mobilize and is only waiting for the weather to clear up so the planes can get in the air. Additionally, I plan to provide periodic updates on this project as it progresses and significant milestones
are achieved.
I look forward to the many wonderful things the CT GIS community will create from this high-quality dataset, and as always, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks,
