CAP3 Grant - Fifty States Initiative
Thank you for attending the CAP 3 Workshops for Alabama
Stakeholders as part of the State’s Geospatial Strategic Planning process.
They were very successful because of your valuable input and insight into
new areas that would not have been explored without you. As part of this
process there has been overwhelming support for workshops of this type to
continue and the Committee will work to make this a reality. You can
find additional information at our site at
advisory.gis.alabama.gov under the
Members Portal tab.
Over 200 participants from areas surrounding all five
regions participated in the workshops. Your participation and input
has made our first regional outreach a remarkable success! As you can
see from our stats below, we had tremendous success at bringing together a
diverse audience with great representation from the county and local
sectors.
