Final Project

The final project for GIS4043/L was based on a historic look at Florida Power & Transmission Line project sited between Sarasota and Manatee, counties. The preferred corridor selection included multiple criteria but this class project focused on the following four primary objectives:

• What impact will the proposed project have conservation areas?
• Minimized the number of homes impacted by the corridor.
• Avoid close proximity to Schools and Daycares.
• Avoid routes high cost.

The project also required a PowerPoint presentation accompanied with Commentary. Links to both documents are provided below.
