Digital aerial imagery is a fundamental dataset used in geographic information systems (GIS) in local, state, and federal government, private firms, non-profit organizations, and critical systems like emergency computer aided dispatch. Imagery benefits a wide range of users including private industry, public agencies, nongovernmental organizations, private citizens, and educational institutions.

The intent of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (MSB) Recurring Aerial Imagery Program is to provide aerial imagery in areas where it is most needed, on a recurring basis, and in the most cost effective manner possible.

This report is the final of five reports developed to help create a recurring aerial imagery acquisition program. This report provides a summary of the other reports. It also presents a plan the MSB can use to successfully acquire aerial imagery on a recurring basis in a cost-effective manner.

This report incorporates information from the first four reports. Which were researched and created between September-December, 2016:

Report 1: Successful Recurring Imagery Programs

Report 2: Business Needs Analysis

Report 3: Aerial Imagery Funding Opportunities

Report 4: Aerial Imagery Acquisition Options
