Board Approves Contract to Produce New “Significantly Enhanced”Aerial Images Countywide

BALLSTON SPA — Recognizing the need to update its aerial images, the county board of supervisors approved an agreement at its monthly meeting on Oct. 17 to authorize a Rochester, NY based company to conduct a new countywide aerial imaging/GIS mapping program.

Last produced in 2019, those previous aerial photos are used by local municipal assessors and various county departments – the Office of Emergency Services, the Sheriff’s Department, the District Attorney’s Office, and Real Property Tax Services, among them. 

The new captures will feature “significant enhancements in aerial image resolution and an improved delivery platform,” according to the county resolution.   

The contract with Pictometry International Corp., a/k/a Eagleview Technologies Inc. is for a three-year term at a cost up to $225,000.
