Our final project involved analyzing a proposed transmission line corridor by Florida Power and Light (FPL) in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. This initiative was known as the Bobwhite-Manatee Project.
Following data analysis and consideration of public input, a proposed route corridor was identified for the project. What is often overlooked, however, is the crucial role that GIS played in decision-making for the proposed line placement. GIS technology enables projects like this to be executed with confidence, ensuring that required standards and objectives are thoroughly addressed.
Our
project analysis consisted of four objectives that could be achieved using
the GIS tools that we learned throughout the course. These four objectives
were:
Objective
#1: Define and quantify the environmentally sensitive lands imposed
by the transmission line.
Objective #2: Quantify homes and parcels within proximity of the transmission line.
Objective #3: Define schools within proximity of the transmission line.
Objective #4: Quantify length and cost of the transmission line.
