ROCHESTER, NY - June 27, 2005 - Pictometry International Corp., the worldwide leader in digital, aerial oblique imagery announced today that the company plans to provide a limited number of grants that can be used by counties as part of their funding for Pictometry technology.

Agencies can also contract with the provider of the grant information, Grants Offices, LLC of Rochester, NY to write their grant applications.
The Pictometry 9-1-1 Grants (P9-1-1) will enable new Pictometry county customers to receive up to $5,000 per PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) location. Counties with multiple PSAPs can qualify for an enterprise-wide county grant of up to $15,000 per county. The grants will be applied towards the 9-1-1 seat license fees that are part of the overall cost of a Pictometry image library and software. The P9-1-1 Grants can also be used by existing Pictometry county customers that have not yet expanded their Pictometry system into their 9-1-1 operations. Applications for the P9-1-1 Grants will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis with an application deadline of September 30, 2005.
