Ohio county officials apply strong geomatics techniques to build a GIS and provide needed data for its citizens.

To meet these needs, Highland County officials did their homework, reading trade publications, attending conferences, picking the brains of neighboring county officials and checking in with the mapping experts at Ohio State University (Columbus). What they decided from their research was to hire professionals who would deliver the very best products and services they could get for their investment. To Highland County officials, continuing to be educated about innovative technologies and new ways of using them was just as important as the various maps, plans and reports they would get.
