The Land Use Planning Program (LUPP) is responsible for the development of mapping tools and products to assist the agency’s planners in reviewing and planning for the wide range of land use, socio-economic, and environmental issues it is tasked with.
Under the Office of the Governor, LUPP is a map and remotely sensed imagery repository whose collections consists of hard copy paper and mylar maps, digital map products and data, numerous GIS data layers, aerial ortho-rectified photography, and satellite imagery. . LUPP functions as the de-facto State GIS Data Wharehouse for Federal Agencies working with the Government of Guam.
