Project Status Summary

In 1998 five GAP state projects were completed, including Arkansas, California, Maine, Montana, and Washington. Together with Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming, who submitted their final products previously, this brings the total number of completed projects to eight. In 1999, we expect to receive at least 10 additional final reports. Projects that are close to completion include Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont/New Hampshire, Virginia, and West Virginia.

State projects were begun in Ohio, Georgia, and North Dakota this past year. Five states in the Southwestern region-Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah-are presently initiating a regional update. Idaho and Oregon will also be completing updates in 1999.
