• Research past aerial
photography
projects
• Gather input from
air photo users
• Develop a program
“blueprint”

14. Funding
• Approximately $1million per year to meet
most government and private sector needs
• But many times that already spent every
year
• Can be cost-neutral

15. How can you
Help?
• Listen to the experts
• Help us understand how to turn our ideas
into reality
• Use existing funding for its intended
purpose
