AGRC Delivers Cadastral Grant Contracts/Funding to Locals - Gary K. Ricks ( PDF)

The Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) is a division within the Department of Technology Services (DTS).  AGRCs responsibilities include managing the State Geographic Information Database (SGID) that serves as a central repository for all information contained in any geographic information system or other digital mapping database by any state agency. The SGID includes statewide aerial photography of multiple vintages, terrain models, and accurate representations of roads addressing land ownership, natural resources, and all political district and subdivision boundaries of the state.

During the 2012 Legislative Session, lawmakers appropriated $300,000 one-time to AGRC to distribute among non-urban counties for parcel and survey (cadastral) work during FY 2013.  As in past years, AGRC distributed the grant contracts and attendant funding of $10,000 to each of the 25 non-urban counties.  (The four largest counties: Salt Lake, Davis, Utah and Weber do not participate.)  AGRC employs the remaining $50,000 to distribute and manage the contracts, the data deliverables, and to make the cadastral and parcel data accessible via the SGID website and interactive map apps.  The contract period will conclude at the end of September 2013.
