GCR Inc. awarded Contract by Louisiana DOTD

Posted on March 5, 2013

GCR Inc. is pleased to announce that the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has selected GCR to implement a pilot project to identify the inventory of rights of way, servitudes, and real estate owned by the Department in St. Charles and Lafourche Parishes. GCR has designed a methodology for identifying all real estate assets through the research of documentation within DOTD resources and Parish courthouse records. These land records will be compared and overlaid onto existing highway and roadway maps. From this effort, GCR will develop a GIS solution with highway control sections and state project numbers.  Copies of all land records will be scanned and included in the solution and available for search based on project control section or state project number.  Additionally, reports documenting DOTD properties acquired, as well as properties alienated with a distinction between highway right of way and uneconomic remnant parcels will be included. The outcome of this project will be a tested methodology to be used on a statewide basis to build an accurate inventory and management system for DOTD property information.
