Author: David Torraca 1 Harrison Street, 2nd floor Phone: 703-777-0367 Loudoun County, Virginia, is the third fastest growing county in the United States. To preserve farmland and open space, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors directed a subcommittee to create a purchase of development rights program and gave them three months to do it. A team was assembled that included staff from several County departments, including the Office of Mapping and Geographic Information, to develop and build a model that was flexible due to the short time frame and the unknown outcome. Discussion of this process will cover data collection, compilation, modeling in ArcInfo and ArcView GIS, analysis, and results. |
