NGS accepted the final original Height Modernization task order
from contractors working in various counties within North Carolina.
Four counties were completed through a contracting mechanism in
a joint effort between NGS and the North Carolina Geodetic Survey.
The data and products received through these contracted projects
will be utilized within all levels of government and in the private
sector where the need for the most accurate and precise elevation
determinations continues to expand.

In June of 2004, NGS tasked a total of thirteen
shoreline mapping projects throughout thirteen states to the five
firms under NOAA contract. The work constitutes the largest single-year
contracted shoreline mapping effort in terms of project load,
mapping area, shoreline miles, and funding. It consisted of a
comprehensive range of five different acquisition mediums: traditional
photogrammetry, LIDAR, digital imagery, sattelite imagery, and
IFSAR.
