THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
GIAC discussed updating Kentucky’s LiDAR specifications to align with new USGS standards and noted that planning work is underway for 2027 LiDAR flights. HB 500 has allocated funding to KyFromAbove so the state can proceed with aerial photography and LiDAR in early 2027, with a focus on western Kentucky and river towns. This sets up a funded, statewide geospatial data acquisition effort where contracts for flights, processing, hosting, and related services will be needed before 2027.
LiDAR specs are being revised now; proposed specs will be circulated to the subcommittee for review and meeting in coming weeks.
