Fairfax County, VA has two full-time GIS professionals and could easily use more. With budgetary pressures, GIS is used to do more, do it better or faster, and do it with less. A sampling of the types of tasks performed by the GIS Section is reviewed, from CAD recommendation & routing support, to incident analysis, to modeling performance, and general mapping.
