The document discusses Virginia's base mapping program, which provides high-resolution aerial imagery and other geospatial data across the state. It outlines Virginia's efforts to update the base map in 2009-2012 at 1 foot resolution with 6-inch and 3-inch upgrades available. Examples are given of how local governments have used the imagery and data to improve emergency response, transportation planning, and other tasks. Benefits highlighted include more accurate emergency response, establishing a level playing field for GIS use among localities, and supporting economic development activities.
