  5. The Montgomery County Arts and Humanities Council requested DTS-GIS to develop location service applications to search for places of public art and to find performing art facilities. During the first phase of the project, two layers (public art and performing arts) will be added to the County's places of interest (PLOI) database. Web visitors will soon be able to find a art/cultural site, access an interactive location map, and generate travel directions. http://gis.montgomerycountymd.gov/gistmpl.asp?url=/Content/gis/projects/thearts.asp
