<PRE ID="original">The Georgia Mountains Regional Development Commission wished to establish a digital surface model of Banks, Forsyth, Franklin, and Stephens Counties.</PRE>
<SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<DIV>
<DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT>
<PRE ID="original">The purpose of the project was to acquire LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data to establish a surface Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Banks, Forsyth, Franklin, and Stephens Counties.  A 5-foot contour surface will be developed for areas within the National Forest boundary - equating to a 1"=200' mapping scale dataset.  And, a 2-foot contour surface will be developed for areas outside the National Forest but within the project boundary</PRE>
