McLean County Regional GIS Consortium 2007 GIS Day event was celebrated on November 14th and was a great success.
The geography club and a senior class from a local high school attended most of the sessions and graciously helped us with our cake cutting.
A few elected county board members and several consortium department heads and government staff attended the event titled "GIS in Government" in good strength.
About a dozen separate booths displayed work of individual departments from several local government consortium members.
The local business and general community (i.e., State Farm, Realtor/Assessors, engineering firms, and the general public) also attended the presentations and visited the displays.
Quite a few representatives from smaller local governments in McLean County and outside local neighborhoods were also in attendance.
Illinois State University had a separate but similar GIS Day event scheduled and our community held these events almost simultaneously.
The Daily Vidette published an article on all of the events. See photos.
