Idaho Lidar Consortium (ILC) is founded to provide a repository for publically-

available lidar, as well as a resource for state-level lidar coordination and

acquistion in Idaho.

Idaho Lidar Statewide Acquisition Plan was created to establish an approach

to acquire publically-available statewide lidar data and lidar-derived

products for Idaho by 2026.

An additional 56% (47,000 sq. miles) of the state will be mapped (some

remapped) amounting to 73% (60,783 sq. miles) of the state covered with lidar.
