Fly Dane is a regional partnership that allows local agencies to pool their resources for periodic updates of orthophotography, elevation, and planimetric data. Below are some recent projects we have taken part in.
Fly Dane 2017 data acquisition got under way in April 2017. Ayres Associates was selected as the vendor and partner for this project.
The 2017 acquired updated aerial imagery and terrain data for all of Dane County.
The Fly Dane Partnership undertook a 2014 orthophotography project. A project planning workgroup was formed with representation from the county and regional Fly Dane partners. This project marked a change in the acquisition timeline and that the partnership moved from a 5-year cycle to a 3-year cycle. This proposal was reviewed by the partnership and approved by the Dane County Land Information Council.
