Gwinnett County is taking aerial photographs to update its geographical information system.

Surveyors are placing 10-foot by 12-foot black and white plastic targets in the shapes “V,” “X” and “T” in public rights of way and on public land as part of the work. The targets will be removed after the flights are finished in mid-April.

The county asks residents not to disturb the targets. For more information, visit www.gwinnettcounty.org.
