 “APA Announces
GIS-Based Enforcement” - By Carol W. LaGrasse, PRFA,
February 2, 2008
It is over thirteen years since PRFA published its “APA
Shell Game” revealing that the APA was developing
an unsurpassed GIS capacity to enforce its environmental zoning
regulations. This January the APA announced that it was going
to tap into a statewide real estate database, coupled with GIS,
to find old violations of the APA law. The State Legislature
should pass a statute of limitations on violations of the APA
Act.
