This project occurred during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and impacted our ability to engage with the public. The project manager and team had several challenges in coordinating interviews with our intended interviewees, but were able to reach the target of five recorded interviews. Now that we have collected all of the interviews we are prepared to proceed with developing the GIS story map for public dissemination.
