Mid-West GIS has been contracted to collect sign inventory data for Townships in Mercer County, Illinois. The data will be collected using GPS equipment, and incorporated into a geodatabase for use in the county GIS system. Reports will also be generated to be used for the Rural Sign Upgrade program in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Transportation, which replaces rural signs that are not up to standards.

The presentation was attended by local companies, representatives from local drainage districts, and representatives from the City of Quincy (including the Mayor). The presentation covered topics such as; using markers at critical locations on the levees and structures to determine crest heights, and using highly accurate GPS equipment (Survey Grade) to collect elevations to determine heights for protection along the levee system.

Mid-West GIS has been awarded a project by the Keokuk Municipal Water Works in Keokuk, Iowa for GPS data collection. The project will include collecting Sub-Centimeter GPS points of various locations around the water plant. The elevations on these points will be used for monitoring river levels in case of flooding similar to what happened in the Flood of 2008. Mid-West GIS will place 4 permanent markers in crucial locations, which will display both the elevation in feet as well as river gauge feet. Work will begin on this project in July 2008.
