The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality reports that the Virginia Land & Energy Navigator (VaLEN) is now available for public use. VaLEN brings together geographic information system (GIS) information related to prime farm and forestland, conserved lands, brownfields and mined lands, transmission lines, and other topics to support land use planning and decision-making at the local level.
The system enables users to cross reference GIS layers with multiple themes and has a zoom feature that allows users to view at the highest resolution available, up to parcel scale.
