How the Technology of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Can Be Used On A Local Basis

Wednesday, June 9th

The program will feature Gerry Washington, who will speak on "How the
Technology of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Can Be Used On A Local Basis".
Cell Tower Sitting, Visual Impact Analysis of a Proposed Housing Development and Water Supply Protection are topics that will be used to demonstrate the capability of the GIS Technology. Mr. Washington will also present a power point presentation of "A Cell Tower Plan for the Town of Woodstock". The subject
of cell towers in Woodstock has become a major issue given the recent proposed
rezoning to allow cell towers in R-8 zones and the possible environmental impacts such change in the zoning law may cause.

Gerry Washington, the guest speaker, was an IBM executive for more than 30 years at the Lake Katrine campus. Mr. Washington is an engineer who has been active in preserving the water supply in Woodstock as well as in other local environmental issues.

There will be opportunity for networking, questions and answers after the presentation, and light snacks will be served.
