Columbia County, CA is investing $75K for 3D technology to enhance emergency response. The data will be updated every two years.

The article did not mention Pictometry (and that company is great at getting ink) so I watched the two minute video. I saw the Bing and Esri logos on the current maps, but only once did I hear the name of the vendor: Earthmine.
