Planning and organization of a 2020 Ventura County project began in 2019, data collection was completed in mid 2020 and data delivery was completed in 2020. Projects of this type are very complex in nature requiring a multi-year time frame from planning through execution to completion. Planning for a 2022 aerial imagery project began in 2021.
