                Kacy, Im delighted that you and Theresa are looking
at the landscape suitability model results as a factor in your
project.  We are in the midst of working on version 2 of the models
right now.   Here is an overview of the project and various lists of
the data used.  At the end of the Word document list youll see a
section for data files wed like to have.  Everything on this list
will not be in version 2 but a few items are possible.   There are
focus group meetings for working farm and natural value models in
Southern Pines September 15 & 16.  Im not the organizer of those
meetings but Im sure youd be welcome to attend if you are interested.
The project modeler, Jeff Brown, will be present.   I have more
detailed documents that describe ratings and weights assigned to
different data.  If you are interested in this level of detail I can
provide it.   Susan

 Hi Jon,  

    

 I hope you are well.  Our paths may be crossing again finally.  I am
meeting with Theresa about the LDP and we are working to incorporate
the SS gis layers for suitability.  Is there a document, you could
send Theresa and myself describing what landscape features went into
the models?  

    

 Thank you!  

    

 Kacy
