Lowndes Co. supervisors approve on a new mapping project
SUMMARY: Lowndes County, Mississippi, is set to embark on a project to create high-resolution maps using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. Supervisors have approved a budget of up to $350,000 for the initiative, which aims to enhance property mapping across the county. A specialized vehicle will survey every street to collect detailed imagery, providing essential “before” views that can facilitate damage assessments in the event of natural disasters. The three-year project is viewed as an investment, with officials stating it could significantly expedite reimbursement from FEMA and MEMA if needed in the future.
