AbstractBuilding a Rural GIS Through Cooperative Joint Projects Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Alan Frank, Mike Knapp Albany County, located in southeastern Wyoming, comprises 4,400 square miles and contains a small, predominantly agriculture- and student-based population of 30,000. Twenty-five percent of said land is public property and therefore tax exempt. Thus, this results in the importance of utilizing limited resources and is paramount in the success of developing a GIS. This presentation will focus on utilization of these resources, cost sharing between local governmental agencies, and a review of data sets created. Explanations of how city and county functions and tasks can be utilized by both entities in a win/win GIS arrangement benefiting all parties will be discussed.
