The focus of this meeting is GIS in Local Government. The program is designed to facilitate in-depth discussions and strengthen the ties of the GIS community in Maine. We think you will agree that the topics are pertinent to everyone regardless of GIS skill level or stage of GIS implementation within an organization. We look forward to your questions and insight.
