2024 Aerial Imagery Cost-Share Program

Imagery is flown by highly qualified orthoimagery companies and delivered to cost-share participants within 6-8 months of original flight times. The cost-share program is designed to save participants time, money, and resources as the total cost of the project is shared between all participants and the project is fully managed by H-GAC.
